Tim’s Tips #1

Knowledge gained from 40 years of Practice.

In Memory of Dr. Hong-Yen Hsu.

Dr. Hong-Yen Hsu, founder of Sun Ten Pharmaceutical Taiwan, was my mentor during Acupuncture College. One day in late 1979 we went to the factory just outside of Taipei. There were massive stainless steel tanks in the 5000 liter range filled with herbs being boiled, dozens of people, mountains of herbs….. and the fog. It was a very thick fog and the smell of the herbs was pungent and strong.  I asked Dr. Hsu what happened to the workers who were breathing the vapors? He smiled and said “pretty smart for a white boy” and went on to explain that they all, all of them, either got well or didn’t get sick.  So what was in that steam?  Essential oils.

I tried to duplicate the effect using a formula of concentrates but it was not as effective – because they had not solved the problem of the escaping essential oils yet. Years later I made Forest with herbs that still contained the oils, and had invented the Vital Terrain Analysis. I could test the impact of the h and formula on human biochemistry. The “Forest” formula behaved like an anti-depressant and was close to being a ‘normalizer’, meaning that it pointed the metabolism towards homeostasis. Very effective but difficult and expensive to make.

Twenty years later I was diagnosed with inoperable Stage 2b squamous cell carcinoma of the lung for which they could not do surgery, radiation or chemo. I bubbled medical grade ozone through a multi faceted formula of pure organic essential oils in water and inhaled that for several minutes twice a day. The tumor shrank 35%, confirmed by pre and post CT scans, in 6 weeks. That was enough to allow a surgeon to remove the remaining tumor and I lived.

And then, my 3 year old son got a wicked cough. I ran some Thyme in a essential oil diffuser at his bedside and the cough stopped within minutes. If there is any hint of illness coming on these days, at our house we run the ultrasonic diffusers 24/7. You can too.

We find it useful for treating kids and the elderly when it’s difficult to administer regular dosing especially through the night. A direct inhalation of the vapor within a few inches of it escaping the device is a strong dose; once it’s diffused in the air a weak dose. Please see the E.Oils protocols for specifics

I think back to that wonderful moment with my generous mentor. There were the two of us, reasonably intelligent people, standing there as the terpenes and any other curative volatiles made haste for the heavens, and didn’t realize that the people getting well from the concentrated herbs were not only the patients who were buying it but in those days, the workers in the factory who were making it.
