| Zhenggang Guo
Widely known and respected master herbalist, acupuncturist,
and lecturer Zhengang Guo, L.Ac., OM, NCCAOM Board Certified,
began his training in Traditional Chinese Medicine by the side
of his father, Xiangli Guo, himself a famous 6th generation TCM doctor. Later, Master Guo graduated from Lanzhou Western
Medical School in 1969. He practiced both as a TCM
herbalist/acupuncturist and as a surgeon and Western medicine
oncologist for 12 years until 1981, when he came to the U.S.
to do Post-Doctoral work at the M.D. Anderson Hospital and
Tumor Institute in Houston, Texas. He then came to the
Pharmacy School at the University of Illinois to continue his
studies and do research in both TCM and western medicine.
It was at this time that he started to
develop the Life Rising system of more than 300 formulas and
founded Ton Shen Health. More than 41 years of clinical
experience and consistent efforts have gone into making Life
Rising formulas both the first and the most authentic and
effective TCM system of herbal formulas in the U.S. This
experience has also made Ton Shen Health one of the best TCM
clinics for dealing with difficult and stubborn medical cases.
Master Guo says: "Our goal is to help you get back to your
natural condition of health and then help you stay that way.
According to TCM, a naturally healthy condition means that you
have no major health complaints or symptoms and also have no
need to take medication or other treatments to address those
complaints or symptoms in order to feel ‘normal’." |
