Easy Weight Loss with Tong Ren

Tom Tam is a licensed acupuncturist in Massachusetts, a healer, author, poet, and an incredibly warm and caring human being. Born in Tai Shan, China, he came to the United States in 1975 as a political refugee. Since 1982, he has been practicing acupuncture, Tai Chi, and Chi Gong healing with great success. In 1984 Tom trained students in acupuncture and Tui Na in the Boston area and in the mid-1990s, Tom created the Tong Ren Healing System. His method combined Western medicine and traditional Eastern medical knowledge and practice to form a new theory for the understanding and healing of difficult diseases such as cancer, MS and arthritis..

For the last 25 years, Tom has been one of the foremost students of Master Gin Soon Chu, the fifth generation master of traditional Yang family Tai Chi Chuan, who is the descendant of Grandmaster Yang Shou Chong. Tom has taught Tai Chi Chuan for more than 20 years in the greater Boston area, and many of his Tai Chi students are teaching Tai Chi Chuan in America.

In 1994, Tom led a group of students mainland China and Taiwan in order to share his Tong Ren healing method. In Guang Zhou Tradition Chinese Medical College, he demonstrated Tong Ren healing for weight loss, followed by a trip to Taipei to demonstrate Tong Ren's benefit in healing leukemia.

In 2001, the first Guinea Pig class was formed for treating cancer in Quincy, Massachusetts. Now the Guinea Pig class for healing has spread to many countries around the world.Tom continues to practice, teach students, and travel the world to share his dreams.



Tong Ren, the healing system that Tom created, uses a Western diagnosis of a medical problem and traditional Chinese medicine based on acupuncture points, to remove what Tom describes as blockages in the body. Removal of these blockages includes acupuncture. However, the method that Tom found to be most effective is the use of an acupuncture doll and a magnetic hammer--when the Tong Ren practitioner taps on the doll at acupuncture points where the blockage has occurred, the symptoms of the individual's problems are relieved.

The classes are called Guinea Pig classes because it is a Chinese belief that one should not change the name of something that is working successfully. So, after people were cured through the use of Tong Ren in 2001, the name Guinea Pig was set in stone.



For example, to take a common problem -- sinusitis, you would consult the Tong Ren manual and would then tap on the following acupuncture points that are marked on the doll: C3, C4,T1, T2, T3, SI16, LI4, and the Ouch Point (where it hurts). C stands for Cervical and is located on the back of the neck; T stands for Thoracic and the points correspond to the spinal vertebrae. LI is large intestine and SI is small intestine -- these acupuncture points are located on the side of the face and are the Small Intestine and Large Intestine Meridians.

The book "A Lazy Bum's Healing" gives the protocol -- tapping points for a variety of conditions and diseases including tennis elbow, stomach ulcers, sore throat, migraines, tinnitus, anxiety, yeast infection, various cancers, acne, Alzheimer's Disease, anemia, bladder phobias, lung problems, lower back pain, morning sickness and many, many others.

The length of time you would tap varies -- generally, I find 10 minutes of tapping to be effective, but a practitioner would probably tap for a longer length of time.

You can expect many different sensations -- including heat, tingling, odd body sensations, feeling as though your blood is pumping through body -- or you may just feel relaxed or go to sleep. In fact, you may experience noithing at all during the session only to realize the effect later.

Tong Ren therapy is performed using an acupuncture doll and a magnetic hammer after one has received a medical diagnosis such as Lyme disease, obesity, MLS, cancer, or for common complaints, such as headache, plantar fascitis, insomnia or the common cold. There are Tong Ren broadcasts on the internet and practitioners who focus on weight loss and addictions.





Using the diagnosis, Tom has established the blockage points and provided the locations for each disease/symptom.

For weight loss, the acupuncture points on the doll are T7, ST 21, C2Rt, GB13Rt, GV22, Yi-ming, TW 17, and LI18. There are other points one might tap as well. T = thoracic; ST = stomach; C=Cervical; GB=Gall Bladder; GV=Governing Vessel; TW=Triple Warmer (belly area); LI=Large Intestine. Yiming is a point located at the back of the head which is also stimulated for sleep issues such as insomnia, dream-disturbed sleep, eye disorders and tinnitus.

Using the acupuncture doll and hammer, one then taps the designated points on the doll. The tapping on the Live Broadcasts are generally very short, but if you can tap for yourself or have a friend or practitioner tap for you, it is much more relaxing. You may feel a number of effects as a result of the tapping, such as pinpricks on your skin, tingiing, heat, relaxation, pulling, blood flowing more vigorously or you may feel nothing until much later. I have experienced all of these sensations as well as a feeling of heat traveling along my spinal column.
