On August 16, 2004, I took a bad fall, landing with the impact of all my body weight on my right chest area. This resulted in internal wounds - damage to the muscle and connective soft tissue in my chest.

After the fall, I felt very sick for (2) weeks, and I was in a great deal of pain. My Chiropractor taped me during this time, but there was still a lot of pain. At this point Dr. Bob Xu began treating my internal injuries with Chinese medicine. Within 24 hours, the sickness was gone. Within 48 hours, the pain in my chest was completely gone.

The other benefit I noticed while Dr. Xu was treating my internal injuries, was that my immune system was quickly and drastically improving. After much illness for the last 2 years, I was at a point where I got exhausted after simply getting dressed in the morning. During Dr. Xu's treatment, I found that I was able to go longer each day before tiring out. Now, I can go 3 to 5 hours before needing a break, and if I rest for an hour, I can usually go another few hours.

In my opinion, if Chinese medicine were used with our traditional Western medicine, we would have a lot less illness and a lot more healthy people. Many of the drugs used today in Western medicine have severe side effects (some that we're not even aware of). I know this because I have been on antibiotics and steroids on and off for years, and have seen the damage they have done. I feel that Chinese medicine, when it can be used, is so much safer, without these serious side effects.

Healing has been going on in different forms, for thousands of years (and it has worked, or we wouldn't have all the people on earth as we do today). Western medicine did not exist as we know it today. There are many forms of healing that we don't understand that are used even today, with great success. These other forms have worked, survived and stood up against the test of time.

From my own personal experience, I know that Chinese medicine is one of these. The results that I have seen are incredible! I feel so fortunate to have been directed to Dr. Bob Xu.

great news folks. the tumor in my eye has all but disappeared. except for a fold of skin (barely noticeable) my vision has returned, the excruciating pain from the pressure of the tumor was gone my first month of treatment, and the simple diet has made me and my family healthier than ever. i never had the chance to experience the wonderful effects and side effects of modern medicine, as i fell through the cracks of government and medical beaurocracy. im self employed with no insurance and the proceedure to remove the tumor from my head is very costly and extremely risky. we exhausted every avenue to get county, state and goverment assistance, being denied time and time again. all the while the tumor was growing to the point that i couldnt even sit up in bed. after being denied medical attention in one of americas largest county emergency hospitals, i was convinced that society had left me to die. i had all but forgotten my inquiry( months before) to acma, until the day i recieved a follow-up call from Dr. Bob, just to see how i was doing. by this time i was broke, and my family had sufferd so much pain just watching me fade away in bed. my world was crashing in all around me and i had given up on any hope. To actually talk to a doctor that really cared almost seemed like a fuzzy dream at the time. Dr. Bob assured me with the calmest of confidence that this tumor was treatable. His manner was unlike any modern medicine doctors' in that he really cared, assured me i would get results, and that the cost would be minimal. So here i am, living, breathing and functioning. i have my health back, and most important im alive to love my family as they so deserve....

--- an ACMA patient in Texas

I am under Dr Xu care for Osteoarthritis in both my knees. The right
knee is the worst one. My Arthritis is affected by weather changes or
barometric pressure in the atmosphere. Several days before rain is due
to come in I was in a lot of pain. The pain was so severe that it
kept me from sleeping and it was swaying me toward having a knee
replacement for my right knee. Surgery would be my last alternative.
Therefore, I contacted Dr. Xu. He was my last ditch attempt to find
some relief and try to improve my quality of life. His alternative medicine has done wonders for me. I can work my a 12 hour day at work (continental shift) and still manage to get to my car and get a good nights sleep without bing in pain. I wish I would have started several years earlier. My Arthritis would not have progressed this far. I am very grateful for Dr. Xu 's help. His Chinese medicine has made me active and pain free again. I am 62 years old and have a lot of great productive years ahead of me thanks to Dr.Xu.

Hi: I am sorry that you did not have this group while you were
going through the worst time in your life which affected your entire
family. I think it is shameful that U.S. citizens can't get the health
care they need, yet illegal immigrants do...that is a whole story in
itself! I believe there is divine intervention and as God brought Dr.
Bob to me, so did God bring you to him as well. Sometimes all we
have to do is have faith in a force greater than ourselves by just
"asking" for help. I am not an overly religious person, do not attend
church, etc. but I believe in God and angels. I asked my angels to
guide me when my frustration and fear was so out of control. Something
kept me on the computer for four straight days researching for someone
to help! I worked for an alternative medicine doctor who was also
treating me for four years and they just hit a wall and could not find a
way to get my white blood counts to reduce. I was up over 209,000 when
I found Dr. Bob. My spleen was quite enlarged and I felt very poor
overall. I feel so well now, my energy is off the charts and I stick
very closely to my daily regime. It takes great courage to go against
the western medicine oncologist. I saw three of them, all pretty good
experts in their fields, specific to CLL. No one could give me a regime
that would protect my bone marrow and immune system...

I have read your email through ACMA Patient Group, I know your family's situation, you should trust Dr Xu's treatment, I had gone through all kind of treatment as Western Dr, Accupuncture none of them really help for me, until one day of the year 2002 I was introduced by an loan officer to visit Dr. Xu for my liver's problem, it took me four and half months to cook his herb medicine everyday, but finally my liver function went back to normal by Dr Xu's treatment. Thereafter, I had blood tested every year the out come always normal, his herb medicine is unique, you have to be patient, it should take months to recover. Of course, nothing is warranty, as step by step your mom will feels different, just take times.

I understand how you feel. I also was diagnosed with CLL. I am so happy to hear that you have opted for the ACMA treatment. I have gone through much the same treatment. If you ever need anyone to talk to, please feel free to contact me. I am very happy that you have had positive results so far with the treatment. I have never regretted my choice of treatment with ACMA.

Have a wonderful day!

I have been a patient of Dr Xu's for about four months. A year ago I
was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer and went through six chemo
treatments. I was then diagnosed with colon cancer and did not want
to go through more chemo so started going to Dr. Xu. My results have
been great! Immediately I had more energy and felt better. My last
pet scan showed no cancer. I know how you feel but after being with
Dr. Xu, and seeing his passion to help cure you, you will have feel
more confident in your decision. I have never felt better in my life!

Hi everyone...I have been on the ACMA protocol for two months now and
have witnessed some dramatic improvement in my CLL. My gums do not
bleed like they did, I have good energy, am sleeping better (getting
to sleep sooner and staying asleep) my appetite is very good. I have
an enlarged spleen which we are working on getting reduced in size. I
sustained an injury so it is slow coming back. My wbc has been
steadily getting worse over the course of four years and ACMA has
helped to reverse my disease. My white counts have gone down in only
one month. I will be getting another blood test soon to see where I
stand. It takes alot of courage to not do chemo and to try
alternative methods to control and reverse the disease. Western
medicine does not have a cure for my disease and the remissions are
not long for some patients with the possibility of getting secondary
cancers, supressed immune function, etc. I want to keep what immune
system I have and build on it, not tear it down. I fear it would not
recover, nor would I! This is a tough disease and you kind of walk
the walk alone on this one. Western medicine really never paid much
attention to it and only now are they making a little headway, but not
what we would like to see. Any treatment you do has high risks involved.

I personally have nothing but success stories. Dr. Xu began treating me a
little over a year ago for heart disease. In that year my condition has
improved almost 100%. At the time I started treatments, the pain I
experienced any time I exerted myself was pretty unbearable. I would
experience pain throughout my middle chest that would venture up into my
neck and jaw and half way down both of my arms. Not just discomfort, but
pain that would cause me to think I was experiencing a full blown heart
attack. In recent weeks, there have been several occasions that I was in
very stressful situations and have been required to exert myself to the
point that I was sure I would be experiencing this awful pain once again.
But to my wonderous surprise, there was absolutely no pain what so ever, the
worst symptom I experienced what some shortness of breath, that subsided
quite quickly when I sat down and collected myself. Needless to say when I
reported this to Dr. Xu he was very pleased indeed. I would have to say
that pretty much all of my symptoms are gone, but I am fortunate enough that
at this time I can afford to continue my treatments so I will be. Hopefully
it won't be long before our legislators realize through their own personal
experiences that it is important that the American people have access to
American Chinese Medicine.

I have been treated by Dr Xu for a couple of months now. I am doing much better than I was when I started with him, but I'm still not 100%. I don't think I'm going to be able to continue though as the money is a problem for me. I haven't been able to get a diagnosis from regular doctors. I have very severe muscle spasms and itching. I was only able to sleep from 1 to 3 hours a night. Since Dr Bob's herb treatment, I have had only one bad episode of muscle spasms and I'm now sleeping from 5 to 7 hours a night. I had also begun losing weight pretty rapidly (20 lbs in about 2 months) and now I'm starting to gain some weight back.

My sister who lives in Arkansas started treatment but had to stop because of financial problems also. She has Olivopontocerebellar degenerative. She called me after about a week of herbs and told me that I'm not going to believe what's happened to her. I asked what. She said she hadn't been able to walk upright for the last five years and she falls about 10 to 11 times a day. After the week of herbs, she was walking and standing straight and she was only falling about once or twice a day.

My health has improved substantially since I started using Chinese herbal medicine from Dr. Bob Xu.

I had 35 years of allergy problems that included taking medication (both prescription & over the counter). I had to see ENT specialists. Repeated sinus infections from the allergies resulted in having sinus surgery in 1995.

I spent a lot of time & money with this malady. The total cost of all 35 years of office visit co-pays, pharmacy co-pays and over the counter medicine far surpasses what I have paid for Chinese Herbal Medicine.

One ENT specialist charged $350 for each office visit. The allergy medication amounted to well over $200 a month. The bill for the sinus surgery was $17,000. The cat scan I had prior to surgery was $900. Even after all the time & money spent nothing was accomplished. My allergies persisted & I started all over again with doctor visits & allopathic medication.

Apparently some of the allopathic medication (including chemo for cancer) I had taken over the years affected my liver & cholesterol. My liver enzymes were below normal & my cholesterol count was abnormally high.

I was introduced to Dr. Xu after all the years of allergy & sinus problems. Two years later, I was symptom free (and prescription free). Had I sought Dr. Xu's help shortly after the allergies appeared, it would have taken far less time (only months) to be symptom free. I would never have needed surgery, time taken off work, 7 years of allergy shots, time spent going back and forth to doctors’ offices and 35 years of taking allopathic medicine.

Dr. Xu also gave me Chinese herbal medicine to restore my liver function & cholesterol count. In just 2 months time, my liver enzymes were within the normal range and my cholesterol count dropped 129 points!

CHM heals the cause of the problem with no side effects rather than just treating the symptoms.

I used to have Raynauds Syndrome. I initially had gone to see an American vascular surgeon who told me that he could prescribe a drug for this problem however, it might affect my heart. Of course, this was out of the question. This circulation problem is also now a thing of the past thanks to Chinese herbal medicine.

After having two babies some 30 years ago, I became slightly incontinent. It became more of a problem in the last 10 years. A friend of mine had 3 surgeries for incontinence & none of them worked. When I heard this, I sought help from Dr. Xu. After two months of taking Chinese herbal medicine, I am no longer bothered with that issue.

I look forward to the day when American insurance companies will open their eyes and see the value in the healing power of Chinese herbal medicine. Millions of dollars will be saved because far fewer prescription drugs, surgeries & hospital stays will be needed.

Results of use of CHM I recovered from my mastectomy very quickly. Six months later, the significant nerve damage to my arm and shoulder from the surgery is healing. I went through six weeks of chestwall radiation therapy and was able to work through the whole treatment. The therapists treating me were amazed. I only had a bad skin reaction (bleeding, desquamation) when I ran out of the herbs. However, once I took the herbs again, I healed very quickly with no scarring. Also, after chemotherapy a few years ago, I was always cold, and I was put on a thyroid medication. Now, I am no longer cold and I don’t need the thyroid medication either. I used to “fade” each evening, but now I have enough energy to make dinner and do my usual chores. Blood tests show improvement in my natural killer cells. My cholesterol numbers are returning to normal.

How long on allopathic medicine before taking CHM I did four months of chemotherapy when I was first diagnosed. Then I was put on an aromatase inhibitor (AI). The total time was about two and one-half years before I started taking the herbs.

Results of use of allopathic medicine The chemotherapy shrank the tumor and the swelling in my lymph nodes. I stopped allopathic treatment at that point to find something more promising, since patients with my disease have such a poor prognosis. A new tumor grew, so I returned to the allopathic treatment, having the AI, then surgery and radiation.

Any side effects from allopathic medicine? During chemo, my bones and joints hurt. Then I went into menopause, with all its delightful effects. I was also cold and tired all the time. I developed a skipped heartbeat that I never had before, although the doctors told me it was nothing to worry about. After taking the aromatase inhibitor, my cholesterol numbers shot up, except for my HDL, which was normal. The chemo I was on has the potential to damage the heart, but I don’t know if I suffered any damage.

I have a couple successful stories with Dr. Xu. About 6 years ago I had hyperthyroid problem. My specialist couldn't do any thing except asked me to wait and see if my thyroid would get back to normal by itself or it would get worst. If it get worst then she would have to do surgery to remove my thyroid gland. Since I didn't want to take any risk of having surgery. I went to see Dr. Xu and with his herbal medicine, my Thyroid got back to normal after a couple months of treatment.

About 5 years ago, my mom has a little nodule on her neck. Her doctor couldn't tell what cause the problem and therefore had no medicine for her. I bought her to see Dr. Xu and after a couple of months with Dr. Xu's medicine, her nodule disappear.

Hi everyone! Well, I went to my primary doctor and had my blood
drawn. It had been another month. Everytime I go I am scared to
death because for the past four years my blood has always been higher
relative to my WBC. My hemoglobin has been steadily dropping and my
platletts. Have not had a RBC problem but that is dropping a little
now because of the anemia.
These are the things we look at very seriously. My blood results
came back with again an improvement in the dropping of my WBC. I was
so excited. My primary doctor who has been treating me for four years
has never been able to find something that would help me. She looked
at my lymph nodes under my chin and neck and said "What an
improvement". She wondered what I had been doing. I told her
"herbs". She is an alternative doctor so she is very open minded to
just about anything. They took more blood because she wanted to check
my B-12, etc. which I was not too happy about but it was a routine
thing considering my results. She suggested I eat liver from a grass
fed butcher shop and gave me some liver supplements. Dr. Bob is fine with
it. I have been feeling really happy about this journey. This is my
third month on treatment. My spleen is still quite enlarged and that
has its challenges. It could be the problem in my reduced red blood
counts....small bleed somewhere. We are trying to shrink it down but
as my accupunturist says, It will probably be the last thing to shrink
down because it has to filter out all the dead cells from my lymph
node reductions and I have a very heavy lymph nodes throughout my
body. At first, (Even though he is a chinese medical doctor as well)
he was very leary of my trying this treatment. I could tell he was
worried. Now, with the results I am getting he says "You took a huge
leap of faith and courage in what you are doing and I am so happy it
is working." IT IS QUITE APPARENT THAT DR. BOB AND I HAVE STOPPED
THE PROGRESSION OF THE DISEASE AND NOW WE MUST REVERSE IT. I have a
cousin whose husband has CLL and he is doing the traditional chemo
treatments. He is having a very difficult time requiring blood
transfusions and his red cells and hemoglobin continue to drop and
they don't know why. Well, chemo destroys your bone marrow, the very
thing we are trying to build up to help fight our disease. I don't
know him personally and am justing hearing "through the grape vine"
his problems. I can tell you this,taking my herbs, vitamins, eating
correctly (organic)sleeping,walking, etc. is a full time job with this
disease. It really takes alot of work. I have to time everything.
It certainly is worth it...I am worth it! What I want to express to
everyone who has this disease is when you have Dr. Bob on your side,
he has a plan for everything that comes your way. I feel so fortunate
to have found him and know I am in good hands! Have a great weekend
everyone!

Hello everyone...I am the patient's wife. ... And as his wife I am forever greatful for Dr Bob. And I wish that I would have had this group while he was lying in the bed dying. It was hard watching the man I love slip away from me. I have never felt so helpless in my life. I spent many days and nights at this computer trying to help him and everywhere I turned was a deadend or empty promises. I would have to go to his bedside and tell him that there was no one or no where to turn to. Then one day he got out of the bed with God by his side, come to the computer and found Dr Bob. And our family is living life again.

Symptoms: Lichen Planus, an autoimmune disease. I lost all of my fingernails and toenails and was starting to loose patches of hair. I also had lesions in my mouth and vaginal area.

Results of use of CHM: Skin and mouth lesions completely healed. My fingernails are growing back, 6 look great and 3 are split only casually. Toenails are not getting better.

How long on allopathic medicine before taking CHM? 2 years. I was misdiagnosed for 1 year and was put on Lamisil. After seeing 9 doctors, finally I got the diagnosis of Lichen planus which is an autoimmune disease. I was told that there was no cure.

Results of use of allopathic medicine: No result in use of allopathic medicine. In fact, my condition worsened.

Any side effects of allopathic medicine? Yes, I didn't feel well and had to have monthly liver tests from the medication. None of the doctors involved cared about my condition.

Results of use of CHM: Since CHM treats the root of the condition; I have experienced numerous results in many areas. The CHM dramatically decreased my motion sickness, irregular heartbeat and palpitations, increased my circulation so that I did not feel cold all the time, reduced my stomach pain and acid reflux; decreased high blood pressure; decreased menstrual cramping and associated side affects; decreased headaches; increased energy; decreased aching in joints and bones; mental and emotional clarity and regulation increased; sleep increased and felt rested in the morning and in addition to all of these benefits, my White Blood Count decreased the first month by 20% and stabilized the month after even though I experienced a terrible cold and flu. The treatment for cold and flu also needs to be recognized that during the time I had the cold and flu, I was able to recover within a five day period where other individuals were developing pneumonia or experiencing sickness for up to three and four weeks.

Any side effects? There have been absolutely no side effects from taking the treatment except that you feel better.

How long on allopathic medicine before taking CHM: Was not on allopathic medicine before.

I 'am the person Dr. Bob was talking about. The person with Hep. C
since 2002 or before and went through combination therapy for 48 weeks in
2003 to 2004 and had good results for 3 months afterwards. (The theraphy I went through was one of the most painful things I have gone through in my life)
After 3 months the condition went from good to worse than before I had the
treatment. (I'm not saying the treatment does not work, at the time
it had a 65% succes rate)

I started Dr. Bob's treatment shortly after that and my viral load went from 10 Million to 2 Million in a period of about a year and a half with my liver count from the 300 hundreds to a normal person. In December of 2005 I was diagnosed with liver cancer with the tumor the size of 7.8. Too big to operate so I took the option of
chemo-emblization and Dr. Bob's cancer treatment. This Aug. 27th my blood results showed my tumor is down to 3. something and that is from one treatment from the City of Hope in California and the continued treatment from Dr. Bob. My Dr. from the City of Hope said I am an exception and that most people have to have more treatments and maybe the same kind of treatments for the rest of their lives. All I can tell you I am a firm believer in Dr. Bobs treatment and results. I just wished the JUNGLE JUICE as I call it taste better and he had a treatment for my Golf
game?

If I can answer any question I will try to reply in a timely manner.
Trusting in God won't hurt your cause either. Thanks

I also wanted to give you good news. A friend of mind arranged for me to be tested on a Cardio-Beam machine. This new medical technology was developed by a Nobel Prize scientist and the machine itself was developed by a Korean team. It is very sophisticated and precise. Attached to the middle finger on the right hand, it shoots about a million electrical impulses per minute through the entire path. The beam follows the natural flow of bloof through all arteries, veins and capikkaries throughout the entire body. It can detect many things included any blockage and the degree of blocakage inywhere in he heart and body. It also measures the stress levels of the nervous system in the body.

The technician that administered the test was familiar, through my friend, of my previous condition and the 70% blockage of one of my arteries in my heart. He also was told that I had refused a catheter and stent procedure and had opted instead to be treated holistically by a Chinese American doctor familiar with thousands of years of treatment by chinese doctors through powders derived from roots, tree barks and other sources.

He was amazed by the test results. He stated that my veins and arteries throughout my body were totally clean of any plaque or obstruction. My vascular system was in Stage 2 condition condition. Only a baby, whose vascular system is in a Stage 1, were cleaner thatn mine. There are 5 Stages in this procedure. A stage 3 means there is substancial blockage or obstruction in the vascular system and the patient needs to start treating the condition. A Stage 4 means that there is significant blockage showing and the patient needs to start reversing the condition without delay. Stage 5 means that there is severe blockage and the patient amd the patient is in the most advanced degree in is in extreme danger of getting a heart attack and suffering permanent damage to the vascular system if not treated immediately.
He told me thatI had the heart and vascular system of a 30 year-old man. He said "Whatever that Chinese doctor is doing for you has worked."

I am very thankful to you Dr. Xu for all your treatments and advise. The other day, when we had the big snow, I cautiously worked shoveling snow and cleaning my driveway for 2 hours. I felt no pain or shortness of breath. Thank you again for your expertise.

Best wishes and warm regards,
