My daughter was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia on her second birthday. She underwent five intensive rounds of chemotherapy and relapsed three months after treatment. She then underwent an umbilical cord transplant and again relapsed three months later. She was then given a targeted chemotherapy agent which caused VOD, a failing liver. The doctors then indicated that they had exhausted all options, that her liver would not heal and that they could not eradicate the leukemia. They estimated that she had 1-4 weeks left to live. Desperate, I started searching the internet for a viable alternative to modern medicine, I found Tong Ren therapy and immediately contacted Joseph Lucier. We worked together over the phone every day to give her treatments and slowly she started to improve. She eventually was well enough to check out of the hospital and continued to improve at home. Her last biopsy showed no signs of leukemia, it looked healthy. It is now three months after she was discharged from the hospital and she is doing wonderful. “Amazing” and “miracle” are words the doctors use to describe her recovery. She is no longer in need of any transfusions and she is off of all medications and steroids. She is playing and enjoying life as a three-year old. During the treatment, Joe taught me how to do Tong Ren and I now do 2-3 sessions a week for my daughter….a small price to pay to have her in our lives.”

On 4/12/13 I had a HIDA scan at Milton Hospital to check my gallbladder’s ejection fraction (the rate at which bile is released from the gallbladder). According to the ordering physician, a reputable MA surgeon, an ejection fraction of 35% or lower signifies gallbladder disease; mine was 28%. He insisted that my gallbladder be removed immediately due to the severity of my gastrointestinal symptoms that were triggered by eating any food whatsoever. Instead of following his prompt, I pursued alternative therapies at the Tam Center For Healing, which included massage therapy with Joseph Lucier, LMT. Joe quickly and effortlessly identified specific points of tension in my neck and back that he explained corresponded with my dysfunctional gallbladder. He loosened those areas during our sessions and encouraged me to self-massage daily to maintain the benefits of his focused work. Within one month I repeated my HIDA scan at Quincy Medical Center, and my ejection fraction had skyrocketed to a remarkable 82%. I would recommend Joseph Lucier, LMT, to others seeking minimally invasive resolutions to illness and disease. I feel his massage therapy has been an integral piece to my continuing recovery. The proof is in the numbers.
