Dr. Linda S. McAlpine's review of Rick Kuethe's book "Tong Ren Therapy:  What It Is, Why It Works, and How To Do It."  

"I would like to give Rick Kuethe's recent publication, "Tong Ren Therapy:  What It Is, Why It Works, and How To Do It," my highest recommendation.  Rick has made a significant contribution to a growing body of literature regarding Tong Ren therapy.

I avidly read Rick's book through three different lenses.

As a patient, healing from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, I found that Chapters 1-10 added another layer of credibility and understanding to the concept of Tong Ren healing.

As a "practitioner-in-training," Chapters 12-21 deepened my comprehension of Tong Ren, allowed me to establish a meaningful connection between theory and practice, and gave me the confidence to begin actively participating in Tong Ren conference calls as a "doller."

As an educator and a professor of chemistry and mathematics, I found Rick's straightforward writing style and frequent use of analogy to be a solid learning tool.  Rick's end of chapter summaries are extremely concise and greatly enhance the synthesis of the concepts presented in each chapter.  Additionally, Rick cites a variety of sources which support and lend credibility to the theory of Tong Ren and meld it with our current understanding of traditional science.

I have purchased several copies of "Tong Ren Therapy:  What It Is, Why It Works, and How To Do It" as gifts for friends and family.  May I suggest that you do the same and thus share the energetic healing modality called Tong Ren with your loved ones."

"WOW!  It's fantastic.  Very clearly written.  It will be an excellent motivation for Tong Ren practitioners to study and improve their skills.  A must read for Tong Ren healing."  —Dave Gomes, Boston, MA.  

Dave Gomes' review of Rick Kuethe's book "Tong Ren Therapy:  What It Is, Why It Works, and How To Do It."  

"Most of you know already that Rick Kuethe has just published a new book titled "Tong Ren Therapy:  What It Is, Why It Works, and How To Do It."  It is available from his website www.ILoveTongRen.com. 

I want to provide some more information to show you that it is a must read for Tong Ren healing.  For those who have already ordered it, I just want to raise your anticipation level.

Rick has combined teachings of Tom Tam with his own independent research and healing experience to provide a tutorial, a guide and a reference work that will raise the competence level of the vast majority of both current and future Tong Ren healers.

Maintaining energy levels is a real issue for even experienced Tong Ren healers and especially for beginners.  Rick provides a detailed explanation of Carl Jung's collective unconscious and how it can be used to access a significant energy source for Tong Ren practice.  Tom Tam frequently describes this energy as growing.

The book provides a short practice guide on how to engage and work on others that enables beginner healers to effectively deal with new people.  A detailed description of the immune system is provided along with a guide to working on autoimmune disorders.  As most readers know, dealing with immune system issues is one of the real strengths of Tong Ren.

Both the neck and the nervous system play such significant roles in controlling body functions that they each get their own chapter in the book.  Likewise, healing someone's migraine headache is such an achievement for Tong Ren healers that it gets its own chapter.

Then Rick presents his own independent work on calcium issues with significant detail on what he sees as the core issue and a detailed guide on how to work on these problems.  Any healer with experience treating osteo issues will see the unfathomable potential value in this information for relieving suffering.

Lastly, Rick turns his attention to detail to cancer and adds useful practitioner information to the incredible work already being performed by Tom Tam and other practitioners.

Tom Tam has provided us with an incredible healing modality which healers only respect more with experience.  Rick's new book will only add to that respect and to the Tong Ren energy that we access in the collective unconscious."
