THE INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK IS FOR EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY. IT IS BEING PROVIDED TO EDUCATE YOU ABOUT HOW TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTHCARE AND BECOME YOUR OWN ADVOCATE AS A SELF-HELP TOOL FOR YOUR OWN USE. IT IS NOT A MEDICAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL ADVICE AND SHOULD NOT REPLACE ANY ADVICE GIVEN TO YOU BY YOUR MEDICAL PROVIDER OR OTHER HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONER. YOU SHOULD USE THIS ADVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK BASED ON YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT.

Nothing in this book is suggested to have you avoid seeing a board-certified physician for a proper diagnosis for your health concerns. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA and are intended for educational purposes only. All recommendations for essential oils are based on third-party research for essential oils and their effectiveness when used for the above ailments. See PubMed for references to some of those studies. Take personal responsibility based on complete information for your healthcare.

Dr. Brown only recommends CPTG essential oils from Doterra as they are the only essential on the market that show superior quality, growing and harvesting techniques as well as being grown in indigenous regions of the world. Further, the Doterra essential oils contain no synthetic chemicals or preservatives and are tested extensively. There are many essential oils in the marketplace today but not many companies that have set such high standards and produce therapeutic benefit. Always check your essential oil bottles for supplement facts and if you don’t have an oil that can be used for internal use don’t use it.

Advance Praise

This kind of effort put forth by Dr. Michelle is extraordinary as the learning journey is very difficult for Chinese people to let alone for her being an American to accomplish the whole journey. She even gave up practicing the law but practices TCM instead. I believe TCM is becoming an inseparable part of her life.

Dr. Peng Lei, Director of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Kowloon Hospital, Suzhou China

Dr. Michelle’s accomplishments remind me of a Chinese Saying 29368.png qiang nei kai hua qiang wai xiang literally translated Blooming inside but perfuming outside, meaning some accomplishments are easily known outside its own unit. In Michelle’s story, the way she appreciates and benefits from TCM is way more than most Chinese people. I hope Americans can benefit from this book

Dr. Zeng Cong Jun, Vice Chief Radiologist, Kowloon Hospital, Suzhou China

This book is so important because it is a significant look at the current American medical system, and it comes at the right time. It works as a guide for all patients, giving its purpose remarkable value.
