Grace (Mom of a 15-year-old boy with SMS, ASD/ADHD, Intellectual Disabilities)

At the age of six, my son was diagnosed with Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS), a genetic condition that can cause behavioral problems, attentional deficits, hyperactivity and impulsive behaviors. Growing up, he has a history of problematic behavior: severe physical and verbal aggression, tantrums, property destruction, non-compliance, and elopement, all common among people with SMS conditions. He was also diagnosed with ASD, ADHD, and intellectual disabilities.

Before seeking care from the doctors at Guang Tai Tang, my son had been suffering from sleep disorders for over a decade. His exhausting nights would spill into his days, making it difficult for him to cope at school. Our home life was filled with frequent meltdowns, and sometimes when he didn't receive the attention he desired, he would exhibit aggressive and self-injurious behaviors. He would throw himself against walls or the floor, displaying a lack of control over his emotions. He was unable to tolerate denial of preferred items or activities and will become highly aggressive. Previous behavior providers have discharged him due to the intensity of his problematic behaviors. We had to constantly call the police for assistance.

During the five months of receiving treatment at Guang Tai Tang, we witnessed significant improvements in my son's condition. Firstly, his severe constipation problem was effectively resolved. Most notably, he was calmer than before, and his violent behavior was more manageable. A direct measure was that instead of having to call the police once a week, we found ourselves needing their assistance only once a month. What is even more remarkable is that he demonstrated enhanced cognitive abilities, showing a lot more logical and reasoning ability in his conversations.

The treatment my son received from Guang Tai Tang provided us with a sense of relief and the belief that there are possibilities for further improvement. I hold dear the progress we have witnessed, and I wholeheartedly recommend Guang Tai Tang to any parent seeking compassionate and effective care for their child with similar challenges as my son.

Melanie (50-year-old professional, Memory Loss)

When I made the decision to return to school and pursue a professional degree at the age of 48, I knew it would be nothing short of a challenge. After 25 years away from the classroom, I quickly realized that my lack of memory was the biggest obstacle. One of the courses in the first term, Human Anatomy, presented a significant challenge. With no medical background and English not being my first language, memorizing all the anatomy terms seemed impossible. No matter how much time I dedicated to studying, I would forget them the next day. Failing the first two unit tests left me questioning my capabilities and contemplating quitting for good.

Other than Human Anatomy, many other courses in the program I was in require a huge amount of memorization. The impact of my memory struggles extended beyond just that particular class. It affected my overall academic performance and made me doubt if I could successfully complete my degree. It was at this point that I expressed my concerns about my lack of memory to the doctors at Guang Tai Tang and was offered a Chinese herbal treatment option. Although I was initially skeptical, feeling that memory loss was a natural part of aging and cannot be reversed, I decided to give it a try out of my desperation to pass my courses.

I took the Chinese herbal medicine customized for me for about two or three weeks, and to my amazement, I started experiencing a noticeable improvement in my memory. One morning, as I woke up trying to recall the anatomy terms I had been studying the night before, I found that the long words appeared clearly in my brain with their full spelling. I was thrilled and speechless. I couldn't help but immediately share this unbelievable breakthrough with several of my friends who knew of my struggles. From that point on, I enjoyed a significant improvement in my memory, and for the next Human Anatomy quiz, I scored over 90. This boosted my confidence and eliminated any thoughts of quitting.

While the Chinese herbal treatment did not restore my photographic memory from my twenties, it provided me with enough improvement in my memory to handle the demands of my coursework, particularly when it came to memorization. The treatment I received from Guang Tai Tang was a miraculous game-changer, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking safe and effective ways to boost their memory.

Camila (54-year-old female, with early symptoms of Alzheimer's, Depression, and Diabetes)

Approximately three years ago, I sought the expertise of Dr. Lu and her team at Guang Tai Tang for Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment. At the time, I was facing the challenges of menopause, including severe mood swings, persistent low mood, and hot flashes. Additionally, I was managing diabetes, which often resulted in dizziness due to fluctuating blood sugar levels.

To my surprise, after the initial interrogation, Dr. Lu's team told me that my biggest health concern was actually Alzheimer’s disease. I was taken aback as I hadn't disclosed this concern to them yet, although the symptoms were becoming apparent to me: I struggled to remember recent events, such as whether I had taken my supplement or had a drink of water. I found myself ascending the stairs with a purpose, only to forget why I had gone up in the first place. Additionally, my son noticed I was having involuntary head shaking, a subtle yet significant warning sign. The thought of potentially not recognizing my own son one day filled me with deep fear and anguish.

Dr. Lu's team worked out a comprehensive treatment plan for me, consisting of three stages that spanned approximately a year. It was explained to me that the treatment needed to follow a sequential approach, with different aspects targeted during each phase. In addition to Chinese herbal medicine treatment, I also received strict dietary guidelines and specific meal plans, which I eagerly embraced. Remarkably, during the first treatment phase, I noticed immediate and significant improvements. The involuntary head shaking ceased, and I experienced mental clarity that had eluded me for years. The enhanced mental clarity filled my mind with vivid thoughts and an exciting surge of positive energy and enthusiasm. At times, I even found that I do not want to go to sleep at night due to this invigorating state of mind. Adhering to the special dietary requirements and recipes provided, I began losing weight, achieving excellent blood sugar control, and rarely experienced the dizziness that had plagued me. I felt a surge of energy and an overall sense of well-being. It was truly a miracle.

As the treatment progressed and my health improved on multiple fronts, I must admit that I struggled to maintain strict compliance. I deviated from the dietary requirements, regaining some weight, and my blood sugar control suffered as a result. Moreover, I found it challenging to adhere to the prescribed bedtime routine, often staying up late and disrupting my daily schedule. Consequently, I often missed doses of the herbal medicines or took them at irregular intervals. I recognize that my inability to fully comply with the doctor's instructions may have mitigated the full potential of the treatment. Nevertheless, even before the completion of the third and final treatment phase, I noticed a significant shift in my emotional well-being as well. The depression was gone, and I felt a renewed sense of energy and purpose, engrossed in my work without the need for further treatment.

Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Guang Tai Tang. The quality of service and the extraordinary healing power of their customized Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment is unparalleled.

Sophia (22-year-old University student with Avoidance Procrastination, Lack of Attention)

As a university student, I have struggled with severe avoidance procrastination throughout my school life. Despite years of efforts from my parents and teachers to teach me time management, I found myself constantly rushing to complete tasks at the last second. No matter how many reminders I received, my system seemed to automatically ignore them until the deadline was looming. This constant struggle caused me heartburn, panic attacks, and frustration, significantly impacting my school performance. I felt frustrated and angry with myself, at the same time desperate because there is no way to address this issue.

Additionally, I had attention issues that worsened during the pandemic. Being in Grade 12 when the pandemic hit, the transition to online classes made my attention problems even more evident. During my first year at university, when all courses were online, I found myself frequently losing track during Zoom lectures. Before I knew it, the class had ended. The same happened when I studied, losing track of time and realizing hours had passed without my notice. This greatly bothered me, hindered my studying, and required me to spend extra time catching up or watching recordings repeatedly. Staying up late before exams is a norm, as I needed more time than others to study. To make matters worse, I would sometimes drift away during exams, causing fear and frustration.

Fortunately, during my second year at university, I sought treatment from the doctors at Guang Tai Tang. As someone who is extremely afraid of needles, acupuncture was not an option for me. Instead, the doctors prepared Chinese herbal medicine customized to my needs. Within three to four months of starting the treatment, I began noticing significant changes in my behavior and focus.

The first noticeable change was that I no longer submitted my homework and take-home exams at the last second. In the past, I would always upload my work at 11:59 PM when the deadline was at midnight. However, for the first time, I found myself completing my submissions at 10 PM, surprising myself with my newfound timeliness. Before the winter term started, I even made plans to review course materials during the Christmas break and watched videos on the course platform ahead of time—a first for me. My attention also improved significantly, allowing me to focus much better than before. Overall, there was a remarkable improvement in my attention and all aspects related to it.

Thanks to Traditional Chinese Medicine and the doctors at Guang Tai Tang, my second year at university was a resounding success. I achieved top 1% performance in all of the courses I took. This is truly a miracle for me. I never imagined that something like procrastination could be treated—I had grown up accepting it as part of my personality or nature, believing nothing could be done. With improved attention, I have gained newfound confidence like never before.

I am incredibly grateful to the doctors at Guang Tai Tang for the life-changing impact they have had on my life. I strongly recommend Guang Tai Tang to anyone facing similar struggles in their academic life. The treatment I received from them has made a world of difference, and I feel so fortunate for the opportunity to experience such an unbelievable miracle.

Emma (Mom of a 14-year-old girl with Fatigue, Burnout, Depression)

I am delighted to share the incredible journey of my daughter, who was in Grade 8, and her experience with Guang Tai Tang. She was grappling with fatigue, burnout, and depression, which had a profound impact on her daily life, particularly her schooling. Mornings were always a struggle, as she found it difficult to get out of bed. She frequently expressed her reluctance to go to school and had lost all motivation. Additionally, she would often come home with episodes of crying. The most heartbreaking moment was when she bravely opened up to me about having suicidal thoughts.

As a highly intelligent student, she took it upon herself to research her symptoms and self-diagnosed with depression. Concerned about the potential side effects of antidepressant medication and the impact on her mental capacity, she expressed her desire to explore alternative options. That's when we turned to the TCM doctors at Guang Tai Tang for assistance.

Under the expert care of Dr. Lu and her dedicated team, my daughter received acupuncture treatments and took Chinese herbal medicine for a period of six weeks. Dr. Lu's guidance extended beyond the treatment itself; she provided detailed dietary instructions and educated my daughter on making important lifestyle changes.

The results were remarkable. After completing the six-week treatment, my daughter experienced significant improvements in her well-being. The constant tears became a thing of the past, and I was overjoyed to witness her rediscover her joyful nature and return to school with a renewed sense of enthusiasm. Although she still encounters ups and downs along the way, her overall condition has improved significantly, alleviating my worries about her well-being.

I am immensely grateful to Dr. Lu and the entire team at Guang Tai Tang for their expertise, compassion, and dedication to my daughter's health and happiness. Their holistic approach and personalized care have been instrumental in helping her overcome a profoundly challenging period in her life. I wholeheartedly recommend Guang Tai Tang to anyone seeking effective and natural solutions for mental health challenges.

Carrie (55-year-old Researcher in the Pharma Industry with Migraine, Fatigue, Insomnia, Bleeding Disorder, and Menopause)

I suffered intolerable migraines for years. It used to occur monthly prior to my period with unbearable headache and vomiting, which led me to be bed-ridden for a day or two. In addition, I also had constant fatigue, back pain, and insomnia multiple times a week. I tried numerous kinds of Western medicine treatments but to no avail. When a friend introduced me to the doctors at Guang Tai Tang, I decided to give it a try without harboring much hope. To my surprise, I started to see improvements after just a couple of weeks of Chinese herbal medicine tailored for me along with Qigong exercises and adjustments of my diet. A year and a half later, all the above-mentioned problems were mostly gone or unnoticeable. This has allowed me to continue to devote myself to my job at full speed and live my life to the fullest.

I started to suffer bleeding disorder a couple of years ago along with various menopause symptoms. In Dec. 2021, after bleeding consecutively for more than a month, the hemoglobin level in my blood was dangerously low (i.e., 5 g/dL, the lower bound of the normal range an adult should be 12 g/dL). I was really weak, panted for walking barely 10 feet, and had to take a break in the middle of going up for 10 small stairs. As such, my primary care doctor had to send me to ER for a blood transfusion. It’s the doctor at Guang Tai Tang prescribed Chinese herbal medicines and recommended moxibustion to certain parts of my body, these helped me out of my misery. He essentially saved my life.

I introduced my parents to the doctors at Guang Tai Tang after I saw an amazing outcome in myself. The results for them were equally remarkable. My dad suffered benign prostatic hyperplasia (i.e., prostate gland enlargement). As a result, he often had to get up 3-5 times to urine at night. It severely impacted his sleep at night and resulted in him being lethargic during the day. He was able to get up just twice at night and felt much more energized after taking Chinese herbal medicine customized for him and acupuncture after just two weeks. My dad was cured after 3-month treatment. My mother had stage 1 breast cancer at age 70 and was on adjuvant therapy for 5 years after the mastectomy. She suffered short-term memory loss, extreme fatigue, leg pains, and constipation due to the side effects of the therapy. My mother felt that she finally got her usual self back after 6-month treatments of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture.

In summary, the doctors at Guang Tai Tang are experienced, honest, caring, sincere, attentive, dedicated, and always try to get to the root cause of a problem instead of just masking symptoms. It may take time, various efforts, and patience to get cured eventually for a persistent painful problem; however, it’s worth the wait! Highly recommend you give Guang Tai Tang a try especially after you have tried all other possible venues.

Olivia (52-year-old female, with a history of Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder)

More than thirty years ago, I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia during my university years. The following years were marked by hospitalizations and treatments that unfortunately caused damage to my brain. While my condition was brought under control, I continued to struggle with my mental health throughout my adult life.

In addition to experiencing hallucinations and delusions, I also faced significant challenges related to a lack of motivation and disorganized thinking. These symptoms had a profound impact on my daily life, rendering it difficult for me to function effectively. For over two decades, I was unable to pursue employment and instead assumed the role of a housewife. The lack of motivation made it a struggle to engage in household tasks, and even caring for my son became an exhausting burden. Furthermore, I frequently experienced episodes of mood swings, which further disrupted my life. During periods of emotional highs, I would feel an overwhelming surge of energy and enthusiasm. However, these highs were often followed by episodes of depression, characterized by deep sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest or pleasure in activities. The constant shifts in mood made it challenging to maintain consistency in my activities, judgments, and behavior. As a result, carrying through with plans became difficult, and I found my energy levels and ability to think clearly profoundly affected.

Approximately ten years ago, I was introduced to a doctor at Guang Tai Tang who has amazing specialties in mental health issues. About six years ago, I began receiving treatment for my mental health condition. The doctor at Guang Tai Tang prepared customized Chinese Herbal Medicines specifically tailored to my needs, and the treatment spanned over the course of eight months. The results were truly remarkable. I found my mood swings being effectively brought under control, leading to a more stable and balanced life. Notably, I experienced a significant increase in energy and motivation compared to before, which had a profound impact on my overall well-being. After the mental health treatment, I also continued to receive Chinese herbal treatments from him for various other health concerns, and these have proven to be immensely helpful in maintaining my overall health and vitality.

Now I have resumed working, and my life has significantly improved. I am incredibly grateful for the help I received from Guang Tai Tang which enabled me to stabilize my mental health, and live a more fulfilling and balanced existence.

Janet (Daughter of a 70-year-old man, stomach cancer survivor, Cancer Pain, Cancer Treatment Side Effects)

When my father was diagnosed with Stage III stomach cancer at the age of 60, it was a challenging time for our family. Following his surgery, he experienced pain and other numerous side effects from the cancer treatment and his health began to deteriorate. He was very weak and completely lost his appetite. It was during this difficult time that I turned to a doctor at Guang Tai Tang for help.

The doctor prescribed Traditional Chinese Herbal medicines for my father, and the herbal treatment lasted for about three months. Alongside that, he received dietary therapy recipes tailored to his needs, and he followed them diligently. To our great relief, we started to witness remarkable improvements in his condition. His pain was managed well, his appetite returned, and he began eating well again. The side effects of the cancer treatment also improved significantly. With time, his strength and stamina returned, and he was even able to care for his bed-bound mother.

Now, a decade after seeking treatment at Guang Tai Tang, I am overjoyed to report that my father continues to enjoy a healthy life. The Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment he received from the doctor at Guang Tai Tang played a pivotal role in his recovery and overall well-being.

John (60-year-old male, stage 3 Lung Cancer)

When I was diagnosed with stage 3 Lung Cancer at the age of 50, I underwent surgery. Unfortunately, my situation did not improve, and I was plagued by severe chest pain. I was coughing day and night with excessive mucus. The persistent cough made it difficult for me to sleep at night. I felt devastated, knowing that my health was deteriorating and my cancer showed no signs of improvement.

It was at this time that my son urged me to try taking Traditional Chinese Medicine, and we were introduced to a doctor at Guang Tai Tang. I was feeling desperate, and agreed to give it a try. I was prescribed Chinese herbal medicines and put on a special dietary regimen. My son encouraged me to strictly follow the dietary requirements and start taking herbal medicine immediately.

To my surprise, after just three days of taking the Chinese herbal decoction prescribed, my cough improved noticeably, and the chest pain began to subside. This progress greatly encouraged my entire family, and we decided to continue with the treatment. Within one week, my cough had significantly improved, occurring mostly during the daytime, and I was finally able to enjoy a good night's sleep. The amount of mucus when coughing also decreased. After a month, I even started to regain color in my face. It was the first glimmer of hope I had seen since my surgery.

I continued with the Chinese herbal medicine treatment for three and a half months, during which time the doctor at Guang Tai Tang closely monitored my condition and made modifications to the prescriptions accordingly. He also taught me two simple mind-body exercises and emphasized their potential benefits for my battle against cancer. Trusting his guidance, I diligently practiced these exercises every day.

When I went back to the hospital for a checkup, six months after my cancer surgery, the doctor who treated me was amazed by my progress. He told me that in all his years working in the Oncology Department, my condition was the best he had ever seen among cancer survivors.

I am immensely grateful for the care and expertise of the doctor at Guang Tai Tang and the healing power of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I wholeheartedly recommend Guang Tai Tang to anyone seeking alternative approaches to cancer care and treatment. I sincerely wish for more cancer patients to find the same sense of hope and healing that I have discovered through his treatments.
