A.  ’My family and I have attended the Clinic for 4 years after a recommendation from a friend.  My eldest son, at that time, had been in and out of hospital for 3 months and had been discharged upon undertaking that he would see a psychiatrist twice a week.  This he did and, one Friday he was advised to go swimming to help my son’s condition.

This proved a total disaster and my son almost drowned.  He could not walk and I decided to come to the Clinic on a Monday hoping to be seen as an emergency. We saw Mr Hardiman at 9.30 and by 12.30 my son was a different child.  Tony was so kind and explained everything.  I can honestly say that without his help my family would not be together today.

B.  The Atmosphere created within the Chi Clinic is one that encourages those who come for training, treatment or self development to feel safe.  What hit me most of all was the way that Tony showed great pride in his students.

Note. This lady is an experienced Nurse for some 18 years and has received treatment and taken courses here.  Her letter is some 6 pages long.

C.  I have been a student of Chi Kung for 2 years and I can say that the effect on my life has been remarkable.  I am experiencing suppleness, flexibility of joints, and a general feeling of well being.  I have peace of mind and a greater ability to keep the daily problems in perspective.

I have an overwhelming sense that the ‘thing’ that has been searched for over many years has been found.

Note. Many find spirituality here.

D.  I cannot begin to thank you enough for what you have done for me today.  It feels as though you waved a magic wand and all the pain has gone completely.  I am walking again, at some speed, with good posture and I feel reborn.

I am a tough old bird and as you now know, have had a long history of operations and problems.  You have made me feel like a new woman and taken 15 years off my age!  I never thought that I would be able to sit in a chair ever again and it is great !!

I still feel very emotional about the whole thing and have immense gratitude to you and your introduction of a whole new world.  I wish now that I had not trusted the ‘conventional route’ for so long.
 
Nobody has ever done so much to help me and I will be eternally grateful.

Note. There is much more.

E.  The results of my treatment have completely changed my life.  My neck and back problems are gone.

This man had suffered for years.

F.  The courses at The Chi Clinic are, in my opinion, at Level 4 and yet the trainers manage to include all students regardless of ability.  Academic material and practical demonstration are of the highest quality and given equal attention.  Classes are well structured and handouts are relevant to the class subject matter. The atmosphere is friendly and all students are accorded respect and courtesy.

I have no reservation in recommending courses run by The Chi Clinic.

I am an NLP Trainer, Hypnotherapy Trainer, CGI 7407 St2, Reiki Master.

Note.  This man is a highly experienced coach and practitioner.  Well respected by those in his fields of expertise and by us.

G.  My daughter became ill when she was 14 and was too unwell to attend school. She was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and was so affected that her circadian cycle was badly affected.  She was in increasing pain and becoming more and more subdued.

Tony treated her with full body lymphatic drainage massage and she left the clinic feeling much better.  Treatment continued for two years and at the age of 17 she is fully recovered.

Note. This letter is 5 pages long.

H.  I have been a student at the Clinic for 4 years and attend regular classes 3 or 4 times a week.  The teaching is to a very high standard and I have made personal progress due to the philosophy and attitudes taught at the Clinic, in all aspects of my life.

Note. This man is one of our top students.

I.  I am a qualified nurse and have attended classes (and had treatments) at the Clinic for 3 years.  I have been very impressed with the general attitudes shown and the philosophy of the Clinic.  My life has changed profoundly.  The standards of teaching are superb and all instruction is given without bias or ego.  I would not hesitate to recommend the Clinic to anyone.

J.  This is a very belated note to say thank you for all the help you gave to me.  I did have the operation after all but you made me feel so much better in my general health.

K.  Tony, Just a quick message to say how grateful I am for the opportunity to learn Chi-Do from you.  At this time,which is as you know extremely painful and difficult, Chi-Do is a tower of strength for me.  The philosophy, the community and the practice provide energy and benefit when most needed.  Whilst it is difficult for me to talk through the way I am feeling at this moment, coming to Chi-Do allows me to deal with the hard wired emotions directly rather than through the medium of speech.

L.  Dear Tony and Vicky, It is 12.30 am and I am taking advantage of a quiet moment to write this.  Thank you both so much for seeing me on Friday at short notice.  I was convinced that I had finally ruined my back completely.  The pain was awful.  To add insult to injury, as an agency nurse, I could not get sick pay and had lost £300 already this week.  Thanks to you, Tony, I am back at work with NO pain and am strangely calm.... You managed to surprise us both with the profound effects of your treatments and we now have faith in the stuff !!!

This lady was a bit of a sceptic having been taught exclusively Western medicine!!  You do not have to believe first for it to work!

M...

I had been suffering with Vasculitis in my feet and ankles since January 2006.  This is an extremely painful condition caused by an inflammation in the veins and nerves.  Having been told by my Consultant that there was nothing they could do for me other than my going on a mild form of chemotherapy, the only option appeared to be taking very powerful prescription painkillers.  I was unable to work and could only just hobble across the room.  If it hadn’t been for my daily meditations I think I would have become very depressed.

A friend told me about Tony and after my first session with him I was jumping up and down barefoot and running around his consulting room!  The pain has gradually diminished and after the fourth session with him I have practically cut out all the painkillers.

I have told my GP and my Consultant about this amazing treatment, of which they knew nothing, but were pleased that I had recovered.  My consultant made a note of it in my file, but unless clinical trials take place the medical profession seems to be unable to recommend such treatments.

It is very important that we inform as many people as possible of Tony’s work so that eventually the medical profession will have to take notice of such a powerful healing technique.

This is a particularly dramatic recovery from a condition that was said to be untreatable and progressive.  It is always worth trying something on recommendation and not giving up hope until all has been explored.  It is sometimes very difficult to know what to do when one opinion is seen to be incomplete and in this case, a complementary approach has been used to work with and within the limitations of the drugs prescribed by the Doctor concerned.  

Note..The e mailed letter has been reproduced exactly as it was received here.

Dear Tony, the problem started when I was between 5 and 8 years old. I went to see my doctor with aching in my right hip. I was sent to QM Hospital where I saw two consultants ( Named) who both confirmed that I had Perthes hip. I was booked for an operation within three weeks. They broke my hip in two and inserted a steel plate and a new steel ball joint leaving a 4 and a half inch scar on my leg. I was in plaster cast up to my neck and half way down my leg for 6 months.

I learned to walk again and a year later, the plate was taken out. Since then I was relatively pain free for all intents and purposes. Then, at the age of 37 the pain came back and I was told that if I carried on with my job as a builder and with sports I would be back in hospital within 5 years for hip replacement.

I came to see you and after three weeks of treatment, I have no pain and the hip is getting stronger each day. I wish I have known of you all those years ago, before the operation. THANKS M
