Subject: [gallstones] Re: Introduction and Welcome
My name is Julia Chang. I was born in Taiwan in 1942. I received my B.Sc.
degree in chemistry from the Taiwan National University. I then came to
Canada where I obtained my M.Sc. degree in chemistry from the University of
Waterloo. I had worked for more than 6 years in the medical laboratory of
the North York General Hospital in Toronto, Canada. I then started and ran
a health food store for 6 years (1987-1993). Since 1991 I have been
developing and manufacturing Chinese herbal products that address many
chronic health problems.
My health history:
Being born the fourth daughter by a mother who never wanted to have any
girl, my health problems started from as far as I can remember. The fact
that I was emotionally very sensitive only made my suffering in health
worse.
Other than being underweight all my life, I had bad acnes and was allergic
to many different plants and dust. Hives, rushes and unexplained swelling
on my lymph glands happened frequently. At the age of eleven, I passed out
first time in my life and was told by a medical doctor that I was born with
a weak heart. At the age of fourteen, I was diagnosed with juvenile
arthritis. There were days that I couldn't climb the staircase or hold a
pen to write notes. However, I was still blessed with a photographic
memory which I believe I was born with. Unfortunately, at 17 years old, I
lost my photographic memory. At 20 years old, I could not remember details
of textbook materials even after going through them. At 29 years old,
shortly after my second child's birth, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid
arthritis.
Around the same time, I started having severe cramps during my periods and
passed out many times during those years. Eventually, I was told I had
uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts and endometriosis.
I always needed a lot of sleep, but never felt refreshed. Dozing off in the
class was my daily problems even after 10 hours of uninterrupted night sleep.
In my late 30's, I started having problems falling asleep. Dark shadows
developed all over my facial skin and my skin also became very bumpy.
At 45 years old, I left my regular job because of constant fatigue and
sickness and started a health food store which provides opportunity to learn
about different approaches to my health problems. It was a real struggle
initially because I could pass out anytime and I had a couch in the basement
for me to lie down whenever I felt weak. At 47 years old, I decided to see
a traditional Chinese doctor for different opinions. He told me that I had
badly congested liver and tried to treat my liver problems. Unfortunately,
Chinese medicine does not understand hormones and he made my hormone
imbalance worse.
When I was growing up in Taiwan with regular use of Chinese herbs, I did not
want to believe them because of my rebellious nature. After I realized that
modern medicine could not help me because almost every drug is damaging to
the liver, I had to go back to Chinese medicine. I studied intensively
Chinese medicinal herbs (both ancient Chinese medical texts and more modern
books) and decided to treat myself combining my knowledge in clinical
chemistry, physiology and Chinese herbal medicine.
I thought I should start with treating my liver first because after all it
is the largest organ in our body and is the " general " or " chief of staff
" of all organs according to Chinese medicine. I planned to treat my other
problems one after another when my liver is fixed up. Unexpectedly, when
my liver became healthy, all my other problems including constant fatigue,
allergies, arthritis, heart palpitation, sleep disorders, fainting, frequent
infections and all woman's problems disappeared. What a pleasant surprise!
I restored my liver health by cleansing my liver, gallbladder and kidneys.
I watched my diet carefully and do morning exercise called Y-Dan which is a
simple alternative to Tai-chi.
I have since helped many people who have chronic health problems often by
cleansing the liver and gallbladder. One of the most useful discoveries was
use of the Chinese herb "Gold Coin Grass" (Herba Lysimachiae) to crush and
soften the gallstones before flushing. Very often, relief from pain is
experienced even before gallbladder flush.

health problems may be found in my Web site:
