Joint Pain and Osteoarthritis
Hip Pain
Successful Elimination of Severe Hip Pain and Stomach problems
Ronald Mullen, AP, Stuart, Florida 2012
John is a 55 year old very active male. His hobbies are surfing, dancing and he dearly loves the outdoor Florida lifestyle. He came to me complaining of bilateral hip pain, which started about five years previous. He has tried a lot of different therapies without very much success and was very concerned he would have to give up dancing because of restricted mobility and pain. He was very much interested in the prevention of hip replacement in future years.
He also reported having low energy, felt stiff all over and had a history of acid reflux, stomach ulcers and periodic stomach pain. Upon examination it was discovered that he had severe bilateral hip tightness with noticeable limitation of mobility and his hips felt cold to the touch with hardening of the hips and surrounding muscle tissue.
He was given herbal treatments consisting of GI solutions, Musculoskeletal solutions and microcirculation enhancing solutions. At his follow up consultation two weeks later, he reported an immediate increase in energy upon starting the therapy. The first week into the treatment his hips felt a little more painful, especially at night. By the second week the hip pain had subsided and he felt that he was moving better. He was told to continue his treatment protocol and return two weeks later. At week three his Tango instructor commented on his improved flexibility.*
John has continued to improve and at his recent visit reports that the pain in his hips is gone and he can now do a 180 degree contra-body twist in his dance class. He also had much more energy and his digestive symptoms have all been resolved. He sleeps better now than he has for many years.*

Hip Arthritis
Successful Treatment of Hip Osteoarthritis
Nancy Stern, DC, Albuquerque, NM 87114 United States, 2009
A female patient, age 64, was diagnosed with right hip osteoarthritis in 2009. She had a restricted range of motion and suffered from pain upon walking.
Dr. Stern prescribed a combined treatment program composed of herbal treatment solution, non-forced chiropractic care as well as dietary and homeopathic remedies (three sessions).
As a result, the pain had been eliminated completely. She was in far better condition and showed an improved range of motion as well as greater ease of walking. The results sustained for two years before some maintenance became necessary.*

Hip Replacement Surgery Prevented
Ronald Mullen, AP, Stuart, Florida 2012
Ron is a 57 year old male reports pain starting in the left hip about five years ago. The pain came on gradually with periodic sharp sensations experienced mostly at night while in bed. The pain has gotten worse over the years and is now severe. A scan revealed advanced osteoarthritis of the left hip joint. He is interested in prevention of hip replacement.
Examination revealed stiffness, tightness of the hip joint, and hardening of the surrounding hip muscles. The hip joint also felt colder to the touch than the other hip joint indicating restriction of circulation through the affected tissue.
Wei Musculoskeletal Institute Herbal treatment was started with reported easing of pain within the first week. By the second week there was much improvement in energy and the hip pain felt sharper and more intense. Starting with week three, the hip pain began to resolve and continued to get better each week until the pain was completely gone. There is now much more flexibility in both hip joints and the patient is extremely happy to get rid of the pain and avoid hip replacement surgery in the future.*
Conclusion: The patient progressed from severe left hip osteoarthritis, hip pain and hip tightness to full resolution of symptoms. He has also experienced more circulation through both hips thus preventing possible pathology in the other hip and prevention of hip replacement as the arthritis progressed.*

Michael and Laura Willis DC, Simi Valley, CA, March 2018
A 58-year-old female presents with severe neck pain (rated at a 9 or 10 on certain occasions), that radiates down her arms and causes severe cramping in the hands. Upon various diagnostic imaging with X-rays and MRIs, she was diagnosed with bursitis in her left shoulder, osteoarthritis in her cervical spine, with nerve impingement at C4 due to stenosis. Her practitioners wanted her to get steroid injections to help with pain management, but she was opposed.
The patient sought natural help from Dr. Michael and Laura Willis about this at the end of January 2018. To help with her pain naturally she started drinking tart cherry juice to help soften the excess calcium deposits in her spine. She also takes Turmeric daily for pain management.

Comprehensive Knee Osteoarthritis Program Results in 28 patients
John Filippini, DC, P.Dsc, Danville, California, May 2017
Introduction
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder and a major cause of disability in the adult population. The pathophysiology of the disease is characterized by progressive loss of articular cartilage, cartilage calcification, osteophyte formation, subchondral bone remodeling, and mild to moderate inflammation of the synovial lining. Symptoms include joint pain, tenderness, stiffness, inflammation, and creaking of the joints. Conventional treatment is focused on pain reduction using NSAIDs, local injections of glucocorticoid or hyaluronan, and joint replacement surgery in severe cases such as bone-on-bone conditions.
Wei Musculoskeletal Institute osteoarthritis herbal treatment solutions help increase blood flow and lymphatic circulation and help enhance the chondrocyte’s ability to synthesize required collagen and proteoglycan to restore the damaged joint cartilage matrix, eliminate joint pain, and improve its functionality. They also help reduce joint inflammation and matrix metalloproteinase activity to reverse joint degeneration.* By converting the chondrocyte phenotype to its healthy state, The herbal treatment solutions help reverse the bone-on-bone conditions. For severe and bone-on-bone condition or patients over 50, solution is also included which helps improve systemic microcirculation in order to achieve sustained results.*
A combined target approach utilizes Wei Musculoskeletal Institute herbal treatment solutions and Dr. Filippini, D.C.’s modalities such as Cold Laser, PEMF, BioCharger, ATM, Rebuilder, HakoMed, and Rife equipment. These modalities focus on improving circulation, promoting healing, and stimulation of stem cell growth. It was believed that a knee osteoarthritis program that utilized this approach would decrease treatment time and improve patient response rate (pain reduction, joint mobility, sustained results), thus improving total patient outcome.
Results
Patient case results do align with the expected success rate of 90% stated for Wei Musculoskeletal Institute musculoskeletal treatments. It is important to note that cases showing no response have complicated factors such as ulcerative colitis in one patient and issues with multiple organ systems and infections such as parasites in the second patient. Both patients are undergoing more complex herbal protocols to address these underlying health issues and improve their response to the program. However, many patients who expressed that their pain level was at 0 also presented with other confounding conditions. In patients who saw less than a 50% pain improvement (using as 0-10 scale), there were more indications that patients were very active during their program as well as had some compliance issues.
The average age of patients who had less than a 50% improvement were 65 compared to 64.7 for those who saw a 50% or greater improvement. The average time for patients to see the improvement they described was about 14 visits for those seeing 50% or greater improvement as opposed to 13 visits for those seeing less than 50% improvement.
Table 1 Average pain level after 1 month utilizing Osteoarthritis program*
| Pain Level | Percent of Patients (N=28) |
| Pain level at “0” | 43% |
| Less than 50% | 25% |
| Greater than 50% | 25% |
| Stayed the same | 7% |
Data on pain level of patients who have successfully completed 1 month of a comprehensive Knee Osteoarthritis program utilizing Wei Musculoskeletal Institute herbal treatment solutions and additional modalities.
Discussion
Patients who present with singular or bilateral Knee Osteoarthritis can expect a large degree of pain reduction in 13-14 visits through a knee program utilizing Wei Musculoskeletal Institute herbal treatment solutions and additional modalities such as the BioCharger*. As seen in a large cohort prospective study 92% of patients saw some degree of pain reduction, with 43% stating they were pain-free. Patients who did not respond as well as expected were often either less compliant, more active in their daily activities, or had underlying complications of a larger scope. The two patients who saw no pain improvement were known to have multiple complications. Both of these patients are currently working on addressing these underlying issues through more complex, individualized programs to address their entire well-being. This targeted approach will allow them to better absorb minerals and nutrients, allowing for improvement in their overall joint health.
Many of the patients surveyed had previously tried other approaches including surgery and stem cell therapy. This finding represents significant hope for patients who are looking for alternatives in their approach to healthcare. Currently, patients who opt in for knee replacement are at risk of being in the 20% of patients who still experience knee pain post knee replacement. This combined herbal and modality program has shown to reduce pain in 92% of the patients who started it, with further data needed as they continue their programs. This is promising for patients comparing options as an 8% risk of pain is preferable to a 20% risk of having pain. It would be the goal to continue to track patient outcomes and see if there is a decrease in pain for patients who have not yet finished their entire program. Regardless of the length of the program, it is evident that this targeted herbal, nutritional, and modality approach has hit the nail on the head and yielded patient results that speak for themselves.* For the 2 patients whose pain stayed the same, Dr. Filippini, D.C. is applying further customized treatment using additional herbal formulas.

Successful Eliminating Pain from Wrist Osteoarthritis and Thumb Tenosynovitis
Khaled Alfaqih, D.C., Walnut Creek, California, December 2003
The problems I am dealing with are direct result of 32 years of working with my hands as a Chiropractor. This has resulted in advanced osteoarthritis of the right wrist and related tenosynovitis of the right thumb both quite painful and threatening to limit my ability to work. I had a total remission of pain in my wrist and a good increase in its range of motion as result of 1 treatment cycle with Wei Musculoskeletal Institute herbal solutions.* I will be using these products in my practice as well of course. Please accept my congratulations on the results of what must have been a difficult and concentrated effort to come up with such remarkable products.

Bone on Bone
Complete Relief of Bone-on-Bone Knee Arthritis
Marianne Beck, DC, Lighthouse Point, Florida 33064, August 2017
Standing on my feet all day for 37 years as a Chiropractor has taken a toll on my knees. In 1988 I had left knee surgery for a torn medial meniscus and a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament. Needless to say, after surgery I had to give up tennis, skiing, and dancing. As a result of this surgery, today I have bone-on-bone arthritis in that knee which causes pain every now and then from over use. We recently moved our office in March 2017 and I found myself carrying heavy boxes of files and moving some heavy equipment as well. After the move, my knee swelled, was hot to the touch and I couldn’t bend it. It was difficult to walk and perform my work as the knee hurt 24/7. After 30 days of ice packs, rest, elevation, and various physical therapy modalities, I was no better. Then I decided to use Wei Musculoskeletal Institute herbal treatment. I used a topical herbal product and a liquid herbal formula to increase the microcirculation in the tissues around the knee. Within 2 weeks I felt as if I had a new knee! No more pain, swelling or grinding noises and a complete range of motion again. I was able to walk normally and do my work. Getting in and out of my car was easy again.* I followed Wei Musculoskeletal Institute’s instruction and used the treatment for 30 days. All I can say is that was 5 months ago and my knee has been fine.* Because of this experience, I am recommending Wei Musculoskeletal Institute herbal treatment to all of my patients who have, not only knee problems but any musculoskeletal problem. Thank you, Wei Musculoskeletal Institute for making such great solution for musculoskeletal conditions!

Eliminating Knee Pain from Bone-on-Bone Osteoarthritis
Patients from Massachusetts, June 2008
In December of 2006, I had artherscopic knee surgery which was only mildly successful. Although it cleared up scar tissue, it was, obviously, unable to replace the cartilage which I have almost completely lost in my left knee due to bone-on-bone osteoarthritis condition. 6 months of painful physical therapy brought me no closer to mobility and I was finally referred for a knee replacement. I am only 56 years old and I refused.
At that point, I started using Wei Musculoskeletal Institute Herbal Formulas. Someone at work just randomly handed me a sample and after wearing it for several days I was sold—It worked that quickly! Afterwards I did the first 2 months of a 3 month prescription and since then have occasionally done touch up treatments. I whole heartedly believe in this product. I can’t say that I am 100% healed, but I am very active and only mildly uncomfortable compared to what I felt before.*

Successful treatment of Osteoarthritis, Bulging Disc and Bone-on-Bone Arthritis
John Filippini, DC, P.Dsc, Danville, California, May 2017
An 80 year old female (retired teacher) presented with low back pain that radiated into her right hip, knee and leg. She presented the information regarding her low back with an MRI demonstrating Osteoarthritis and disc bulges. I put her on a three month treatment program of spinal decompression, Chiropractic adjustments (Arthrostim), along with Wei Musculoskeletal Institute herbal treatments
Her back pain was gone within the first month *, but she continued to complain about her hip and knee. I questioned her further about any arthritis in either joint, and she remembered that they did do X-rays and found bone-on-bone arthritis in both. I therefore switched the placement of WHITEE patches to her hip and knee, and by the second month she was only experiencing occasional pain with the bad weather. By the end of the third month, she was completely out of pain, and only felt slight discomfort if it was going to rain.*
The patient reported:
“When I came in to see Dr. Filippini, I was in excruciating pain. I couldn’t straighten up. I had to walk in a walker, and I was in a bad way. After 3 months of treatment, I can walk pain free…and without any medications. My life has improved a great bunch…I’m going to start baby-sitting my great grand baby pretty quick.” *

Successful Eliminating Low Back and Sciatic Pains
David Fiedler, D.C., Arlington Heights, Illinois, June 2004
The narrative of the practitioner:
“I just treated a 16 year old girl who had constant lower back and sciatic pain and numbness in the left leg. She had this pain for 3+ years and has had back surgery as well as injections and physical therapy to try and resolve this problem. All attempts to date have met with little success. She was still in constant pain and numbness. With the use of the first musculoskeletal treatment formula she said her pain was almost gone. Her mother applied the second one and she didn’t feel a significant reduction in the remaining pain. The third one, however, resolved the pain completely. I also gave her microcirculation support solution. After one treatment cycle, she no longer has any pain and is free of any leg symptoms. She and her family are truly excited and thankful, as am I. Along with the herbal treatments we adjusted her with an activator, did laser therapy on the scar and nerve roots to up-regulate the nerve flow to the weak muscles and used Wobenzym enzyme therapy. She was pain free within a week and a half. Not bad!” *

Bulging Disc
Successful Resolution of Bulging Discs
Alexandra Bouharevich DC, Aurora, ON, February 2018
A 52-year-old female presented with pain in her low back with a rating of 10/10. In April of 2017, she went in for an MRI and was diagnosed with bulging discs at L5-S1 and L2-L3. The patient tried decompression therapy, physical therapy, and chiropractic adjustments, all of which made her pain worse. She even tried taking anti-inflammatories and Percocet, which did nothing to manage her symptoms, just made her physically ill. It got to the point where she could not stand for longer than 60 seconds without needing to lie down, which ultimately lead to her taking a break from work.
She began researching ways to help her pain naturally, and came across Wei Musculoskeletal Institute. She talked to her practitioner, Dr. Bouharevich, about overseeing her treatment. Mid May, the patient started Wei Musculoskeletal Institute natural herbal treatment. The first week it helped immensely with her pain, the second week her pain got much worse due to the healing mechanism of the treatment, which is to regain sensation in the nerves that were previously not responding from the injury.
After one month, she noticed her pain had been managed quite well and was slowly getting better each day. After completing her 2nd month of the treatment, she noted having a complete resolution of her pain. She continued with one extra month for sustained results. She was very happy with the outcome and reported that she was able to go back to work, exercise regularly, and do her daily life activities.*

Successful Resolution of Bulging Disc
Earl Moore, DC, Crestview, FL 32536 United States, 2010
A female patient, 68 years of age, came for treatment in 2010. She had been diagnosed with a bulging disc in her lower back. She suffered from severe pain (8-9 out of 10) as well as a decreased range of motion. The MD had suggested surgery but the patient declined as much as she refused to be on drugs. Instead she was using a few supplements to support her health.
Dr. Moore applied a combined treatment program composed of chiropractic care, electric muscle stimulation, herbal treatment, massage and heat. The treatment program lasted for a total of one month. One session of preventative maintenance every other month had been applied afterwards.
The outcome had been truly positive. Upon finishing the treatment program the patient had become completely pain-free. The full range of motion was restored. The results had been sustained ever since. *

Successful Healing of Herniated and Bulging Discs
Patient from Las Vegas, Nevada, February 2008
“First, I’d like to congratulate Wei Musculoskeletal Institute for having some great products! I can tell you first hand that they work. My 2006 MRI showed a herniated disc and a bulging disc and I used Wei Musculoskeletal Institute herbal solutions. My 2007 MRI shows no herniated or bulging disc and the doctor stated “remarkably no swelling in the area”. *One day, I got sick and threw-up and damaged something in my throat. When I’d eat food, I had to wash it down with a drink. Then I went in for neck surgery and my doctor said he would stretch that part of my throat to make it easier to swallow, but after the surgery I had hard time breathing when lying down. I remembered that the musculoskeletal herbal solution can remove swelling so I used it on and off for a week then I could breathe and swallow again which is why I’m a believer of your products.*

Spinal Stenosis and Bone Spurs
Spinal Stenosis
Natural Relief for Spinal Stenosis
Jack Kucheran DC, Calgary, AB, Canada, February 2018
A 68-year-old male presents with severe pain in his lower back, radiating down to his ankles. The interpretations from the MRI resulted in a diagnosis with spinal stenosis of the L-5, S-1 junction. Six months prior to symptoms, he was in a motor vehicle accident. The patient went to see Dr. Kucheran in October 2017, where he was advised to begin Wei Musculoskeletal Institute natural herbal treatment.
The patient noticed minimal improvement after the first month, but was aware that his condition would take some time. He completed his second month and saw some improvement. With the manual manipulations Dr. Kucheran preformed and two months of the natural herbal treatment, the patient noticed 20% of a pain decrease. Shortly after, he did notice a plateau, where we got more of his health history and found prior digestive issues. Dr. Kucheran advised that he added Wei Musculoskeletal Institute natural herbal treatment for GI conditions. The patient was on both GI treatment and musculoskeletal treatment for the third month.
After completing the third month of treatment, the patient reported having a 60% pain decrease. The patient is continuing his fourth month and very excited about the results he has seen so far.*

Successful Treatment of Severe Chronic Back Pain
Robert Smatt, LAC, Diplomat of Acupuncture Orthopedics, M. Sc. Homeopathy, San Diego, CA 92117 United States
A male patient, 51 years old, suffered from severe and chronic back pain (almost ten out of ten) for at least eight years. He had been diagnosed with spinal stenosis (x-rays) and invertible disc protrusion. The patient had been identified as a candidate for surgery but did not consider this as an option. Typical treatment options such as acupuncture or spinal decompression had been tried. Nothing turned out to be successful. Given the constant need for pain killers the patient had a strong desire for a better quality of life without drugs.
Dr. Smatt applied a variety of test work (hormone, body chemistry). Based on the test result, he applied a combined treatment program composed of acupuncture (with micro current), nutritional and herbal treatment, as well as dietary changes. The program consisted of two parts with one session per week. The first one lasted for two months, the second one for a couple of months. Main goals were to remove all grains from the diet and have the patient stay on it.
The results turned out great. The pain was completely removed. The patient was able to have much more energy and stayed on the dietary schedule. The good conditions had been sustained ever since. *

Ela Corcoran, Homeopathic Practitioner, Anaheim Hills, CA 92807 United States, Dec 2016
Before I started using Wei Musculoskeleta lnstitute herbal treatment, some days I could not even drive or remember things because of continuous pain caused by the spurs in my neck (C1, C2, C3 discs). I was having neck pain; on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the worse, my neck pain was an eight. I was having severe headaches about 3 to 4 times a week. A few times I ended up in the ER because of the severe headaches, vomiting and being very dizzy. My activities of daily living were being affected tremendously.
After only two month of following the recommended protocol received from Ela Corcoran, using the herbal formulas, I have had only two mild headaches since and I don’t have dizziness anymore. The neck pain is pretty much gone. I am pretty much independent again. * I am now on the third month of the protocol to complete the healing.

Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing Spondylitis Solution
Dr. Ted Czepiel, DC, West Springfield, MA, United States, January 2019
A male patient presented to Dr. Czepiel, DC with ankylosing spondylitis due to an autoimmune condition that was diagnosed when he saw a rheumatologist. The patient complained of extreme hip pain, fatigue, and trouble walking. In the past, the patient had tried steroid injection and anti-inflammatories, however, he knew it was not correcting the root cause. The patient’s goal was to get rid of the hip pain and avoid starting a biologic agent medication recommended by his doctor.
Dr. Czepiel, DC talked with the patient about the Wei Musculoskeletal Institute (WMI)’s protocol used to treat ankylosing spondylitis which consists of the WMI herbal patches for joint, a kidney herbal formula, and rotation of WMI lymphatic herbal formula and liver herbal formula every two weeks. The WMI herbal patch for joint can help heal cartilage, spinal disc, meniscus, and labrum injuries, reverse degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, bone spurs, and stenosis, and resolve scarring, calcification, and cysts. The kidney herbal formula enhances microcirculation by improving microcapillary structure. The liver herbal formula improves liver health and repair liver damage. The lymphatic herbal formula improves lymphatic circulation and helps resolve autoimmune conditions.
After three weeks of treatment, the patient claimed that he was doing extremely well and that it was the best he had felt in 9 months. He began to really notice a difference after implementing the liver herbal formula in week 2 and saw significant improvements in mobility and pain.
After three months of the protocol, the patient claimed that he was 80% well. He was going to continue seeing Dr. Ted in order to continue healing. One thing the patient noted was that he felt like WMI herbal formulas corrected his lymphatic system in the first 4 weeks of the protocol. He noticed his energy levels had increased and had a stronger immune system. The patient also passed a kidney stone that he had had in his body for a while after 2 weeks of the protocol.*
He told WMI: “I would recommend this to anyone, and I will definitely keep you guys in mind.”

Upon intake, a 56-year-old female patient presented with plantar fasciitis, an overactive bladder, tooth and gum problems, menopausal symptoms, a sweet tooth, anxiety, and fatigue. The patient often had floaters in her eyes. Her biggest complaint was very painful plantar fasciitis in her left foot. The patient was an avid tennis player and hoped to get back to her sport.
Kathy Thomas decided that the plantar fasciitis protocol from Wei Musculoskeletal Institute (WMI) would be her best road to a full recovery. The patient agreed to see Dr. Thomas twice a week for acupuncture and to immediately begin the WMI herbal treatment for her liver and kidney yin deficiency.
The patient was advised to alternate between medium size WMI herbal patches for tendon and medium size WMI herbal patches for joint every two days with a day off in between. The WMI herbal patches for tendon were used to heal the tissue injury, and the WMI herbal patches for joint were used to heal the degenerative cartilage injury.
She was also put on a regimen of WMI oral herbal formulas including the liver yin herbal formula, kidney herbal formula, pituitary gland herbal formula, and the lung qi herbal formula. The liver yin herbal formula helps improve liver health and repair liver damage. The kidney herbal formula helps enhance microcirculation by improving microcapillary structure. The pituitary gland herbal formula enhances the blood supply to the pituitary gland and helps improve its structure and function. The lung qi herbal formula helps improve adrenal gland and kidney function and helps with the kidney’s filtration and balancing of minerals. These herbs, in addition to acupuncture, reduced her pain from a 10 to a 4 in two weeks.
The patient continued to take Internal Formula B in the morning through the rest of the month.
Upon a follow-up call, Dr. Thomas learned the pain had completely subsided and the patient is again playing tennis. She was very pleased with her results.*

Marco Cazares, DC, Indio, CA 92201 United States
The following study presents a clinical review of 25 patients (soccer players) with lower extremity tendinopathy. Of this sample, 14 patients were seen for acute medial collateral tendonitis. 6 patients came for acute deltoid ligament strains (Great 1 to Great 2). The remaining 5 patients suffered from knee patella tendonitis associated with the Osgood Shatter syndrome. A review of all patients yielded the following common symptoms:
1. tenderness,
2. joint effusion and edema,
3. Decreased joint motion by at least 40%,
4. Pain with active motion and weight bearing.
Based on the radiologic findings 95% of the injuries (with the exception of three cases) proved to be normal. Positive cases revealed avulsion fractures with non displacement.
All 25 cases have been submitted to a trial therapy using ice packs and taping orthotic support. Every patient of the sample was prescribed with the herbal treatment. No other physical therapy was performed.
All 25 patients obtained very good to excellent responses (after the first week of trial). For more than 86% of the patients, two sessions of the herbal treatment were sufficient for an almost total resolution of the symptoms). * 24% of the sample required four sessions of the herbal treatment to obtain the same response. * It is noted that the use of herbal treatment of acute tendinopathy is a promising treatment protocol for all physicians who encounter this condition. A larger group trial should be performed.

Chronic Tendonitis
Completely Healing of Tendonitis in 1 Week
Christy L. Constantin, D.C., The Woodlands, Texas, January, 2005
This is the narrative of the practitioner:
“My experience with herbal musculoskeletal treatment solutions has been very positive each time I’ve used them, either with myself or my patients. My husband and I have been building our own home for the past year, so have been prone to multiple overuse and sprain/strain type injuries. I had used the herbal treatment solutions primarily as a last resort when I’ve been unable to resolve the particular injury myself. I’ve used them for a hamstring strain (refused to resolve after 3 months of treatment), wrist extension tendonitis (3 times!), AC joint sprain and rotator cuff tendonitis. In all cases, resolution was accomplished after the 2nd or 3rd session of the herbal treatment. * The injuries were often to the point that I was barely able to function (especially the wrist extension tendonitis and resultant wrist or finger pain) before using the herbal treatment. The pain was detectably diminished after even just the first session. * I’ve also used the herbal treatment successfully on several chronic, non-resolving rotator cuff tendonitis patients, and it has resolved their pain successfully each time. *”

Ligament and Muscle Tear, Sprain and Strain
Ligament Injury
Healing of a 2nd Degree Ankle Sprain in 4 Days
James Guetzkow, MD FP, Los Gatos, California, February 2004
This is the narrative of the practitioner:
“I saw a patient who was a vigorous, healthy, young triathlon athlete, who was running as per his usual custom on December 12, 2001, when he suffered a lateral inversion sprain of the right lateral ankle. He was seen at the ambulatory care center of Kaiser Hospital on Kiely Blvd, Santa Clara, the following day, where an x-ray was taken and a second degree sprain documented. The x-rays were negative for fracture. He was given a walking boot brace and told to wear it for six weeks.
He was seen in my office on December 17, as he had learned of the herbal treatment, and hoped this would help an early cure. On examination of the right lateral ankle it was ecchymotic and swollen both above and below the right lateral malleolus. The herbal treatment was applied, and more was given for the patient to continue the treatment on alternate days.
He returned to the office on December 21, 2001, and reported that he had been able to resume his exercise and, in fact, earlier that day he had bicycled for 45 minutes without any pain. He noticed that the swelling had gone away and the pain was virtually cleared. * He was no longer using a boot brace. He reported there was some residual swelling in the supralateral malleolar area; however, this was not where herbal treatment had been applied. On examination the area of application no longer had any swelling, and there was no laxity of effusion of the ankle joint noticed. There was a slight residual ecchymosis covering most of the lateral foot. The bony prominences were nontender. He was walking without a limp. He stated that he had been active throughout the week in his usual way, with his usual work, and had not spent time with the foot elevated. My impression was that this was a severe sprain with soft-tissue injury, partial tear of the lateral collateral ligaments, and a joint effusion. I was extremely impressed by the rapidity of clearing and returning of function that occurred in just four days for the areas using the herbal treatment.” *

Bone Fracture
Fracture Recovery Expedited through Natural Herbal Treatment and Diet
Reid Brecke, DC, Sparks, Nevada, March 2018
A female patient presented with a broken toe resulting from a slip on the ice December 20th, 2017. This finding was confirmed with x-ray the following morning. She started a regime with Wei Musculoskeletal Institute herbal treatment consists of topical herbal formula and an internal formula. She also added in a vitamin product, Intenzyme Forte™ from Biotics Research Corporation, to help reduce swelling and inflammation. Along with these therapies she increased her calorie and total protein intake to address a nutritional need in her body for further speed in healing.
She continued on a 4 weeks treatment following the protocol. During this time the foot was placed in a boot, with use of a scooter, occasional pressure, and walking on the foot for 2 weeks. After the 2nd week she started to walk more, continuing to keep her foot in the boot as needed. By January 15th, 2018 the patient stated she was not walking with the boot anymore, and had started to wean off it the week prior.
The practitioner noted that most of the healing happened in the first 4 weeks, and that more recent x-rays are showing slower change during the remodeling phase of bone growth. The patient was happy with the speedy recovery and back to driving, walking and enjoying life. As an additional note she states that her bone spur has softened and is no longer painful for walking since starting the therapy for her fracture on the same foot.*

She suffered from severe fractures from stressed to completely broken. Her level of pain was outrageous (10 out of 10). The medical doctor had prescribed painkillers.
She consulted with an orthopedic surgeon. He had expressed concern that the patient may not use her left shoulder ever again. As a consequence, he had immobilized her left arm completely (strapped it down so it cannot move).
Dr. Lippmann prescribed an herbal treatment program. The orthopedic surgeon had recommended the positioning of the herbal treatment.
After six weeks into the herbal treatment the patient went to see the orthopedic surgeon for a checkup. The surgeon was completely surprised about the fast healing process so far. He decided to have the left arm unstrapped. Then he placed it in a sling for another six weeks.
After three months of treatment the patient continue the herbal treatment protocol for maintenance (to deal with remaining chronicle pain issues). Her pain level had been dramatically reduced (now 2-3 out of 10 down from 10). The pain had also changed from permanent to rather sporadic. After some further months the patient had been fully recovered. *
