I just wanted you to know that I went to my eye doctor today and that he verified by both photographs of my retinas and by my increased vision that my macular degeneration is beginning to recede. He got quite excited, saying he had never seen that happen before. I told him of my coming to see you, and that you had prescribed herbs for me. He asked me to come in more often, because he wanted to keep a closer eye on the progression of the regression of the disease. I believe that if we continue to see progress, he may begin to refer patients to Chinese medicine. Western medicine says that at this point in time there is no cure for this disease.
Of course we both agreed that I should continue taking the herbs. I do not need more quite yet, but will be getting in touch with you in a bit when I begin to approach shortage.
Yours in gratitude,
—S. D.
Just wanted to let you know, thanks to you, that I beat my goal in New Hampshire on a cold, rainy day. Legs felt great!
Thank you,

I have been a patient of Paul Olko’s since 1984, seeing him every three weeks until his move to Virginia. During this time, he prescribed Chinese Herbal formulas often for sore throat, colds, flue symptoms, cold sores and since I am a runner, very often for sore muscles.
I found Paul to be knowledgeable and very competent in prescribing the different formulas. A few years ago, I was in training to run the New York Marathon and developed a very sore knee. After a call to Paul explaining the problem, he recommended a Chinese Herbal formula for compresses. After using the formula for a few days the soreness disappeared and I was able to complete the marathon with no further problems. This is just one example of the many successes I have experienced with Paul.

Paul gives the best massage in the country. He is perhaps channeling some spirit doctor and is extremely intuitive. He goes beyond his incredible technical skills. I live in Nevada City, California, where there are body workers galore. Please go see Paul, he is the best.

I have been a patient of Mr. Olko since the early 1980s. He has treated me for a variety of ailments, including weight control, fatigue and stress. In 1987 he treated me when I miscarried in the third month of pregnancy. He prescribed a variety of Chinese herbs, one being powerful enough to contract the uterus and lessen the amount of bleeding. Moreover, in spite of the circumstances, I felt extraordinarily well and healthy. When I returned to the Ob/Gyn MD, he was amazed that the hemoglobin was normal. In 1989 Paul Olko again treated me for bursitis in my left shoulder which had stubbornly resisted anti-inflammatory medicine from the MD. Paul again used Chinese Herbs.
As of this date I am still a patient, this time in menopause, and I am successfully using the Chinese Herbs prescribed by Mr. Olko instead of the conventional Hormone Replacement Therapy. It is again working. I feel well and healthy without any of the side effects which were apparent when I was on estrogen replacement.

Paul Olko has been treating me over the past three years for menopausal symptoms. Thanks to his excellent knowledge of Chinese herbology, I am in great shape and excellent health. I visit him weekly for massages and consultation. As a result of his treatment, all discomforts such as hot flashes, depression, swelling, and memory loss have been taken care of and I feel very strong. He has great insight into the human psyche and body, and a great gift for diagnosis. I recommend him highly for national certification.
—B. O.
You, and particularly your herbs, have been my lifeline for the past five menopausal years. I have been able to sleep and my stomach/digestive issues have resolved. I am eternally grateful for your knowledge of Chinese medicine and all the support I have received from you and your staff (particularly Lisa’s willingness to spend however much time was necessary to calm and reassure me).
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am a 50 year young white female who has been challenged with headaches since I can remember. Guiding myself out from the high-strung and passionate era of my life, I always chalked up the pain to the stresses imposed upon myself.
At age 45 I was challenged with melanoma cancer and went through the first surgery in July 1992 followed by a second in November 1993. Something dramatically changed with regard to my health. The headaches turned into migraines, twice a week, out of work two to three days at a time with each occurrence. I was in grave danger of losing my financial advising practice of twenty years and my desire to live.
I had become so desperate I was prepared to try cocaine, other drugs, or whatever it took to get rid of the pain. My chiropractic visits were not getting to the cause. The intensive massage was helping, but that wasn’t a permanent cure either. I invested through a dentist the old TMJ procedure which I’m not convinced did anything but make a few of his BMW payments.
My sister referred me to Paul’s treatment because a friend of hers had been healed through Paul. I felt I had nothing else to lose and made an appointment to see Paul Olko.
I did exactly what Paul recommended. In the two months Paul was treating me, I didn’t have one migraine. I am now working into the third month and no migraines. I feel I have a new lease on life. So much so, that I opened another business that is doing great thanks to Paul. (I wonder if he’ll want royalties?)
Thank you and Bless you, Paul, for helping me get on track and stay there. I really do wish you would consider coming to Virginia Beach or Newport News at least once a month. We have an extra good bed at our Inn that’s free of charge, very quiet, and surrounded with natural ambience. The food is from the garden, all organic, and that’s no charge, too!

Paul,
Thank you so much for your classes and sharing of what you know with all of us!
Several years ago I was diagnosed as having multiple sclerosis. In my search for healing the Lord led me first to nutrition, which began a better feeling of wholeness within me. Your name was recommended to me for help in this area, and when I called you told me you would work with me, but you also told me that massage would be very familiar with at all, I politely said thank you and never talked to you again. In the meantime, my situation got better, and as the months passed, became bad again. This time, massage was suggested to me by my husband when we were on vacation in St. Simons. I went and it was great. I went again in the same week and then I continued when I returned home, once a week for several months. My life became well and whole again. This is why I'm taking these classes in hope that I can used to promote healing in others with M.S. Thank you again for all you do to help people.
The Lord bless you and your family!
Sincerely,
J.L,

It has been my good fortune to have had Paul Olko as my therapist since 1983.
During this ten year period, especially from 1983 until his move to Virginia, I saw Paul on a regular monthly basis and he prescribed Chinese Herbal formulas frequently, and with great success, for conditions such as allergies, headache, gastric distress and sore muscles.
I make regular trips to his Virginia practice from my home in Atlanta, Georgia, and consult with him long distance when necessary. His expertise in Chinese Herbal treatments has contributed greatly to my good health and wellbeing.

Being a teacher of hearing impaired adolescents, I am almost constantly exposed to a variety of “bugs” and reasons for exhaustion! However, during the past three years, I have been remarkably more healthy and productive; and I attribute this primarily to the excellent, weekly treatments given to me by Paul Olko.
Paul’s knowledge of Chinese herbology seems endless; but more importantly, his application is thorough, conscientious and very successful.
Paul has treated me for a wide variety of ailments, from stubborn skin infections to acute poison ivy; from painful dental problems to stiff necks; from PMS to sore joints. His preventative approach to the “flu” season has left many of my colleagues questioning their less successful shots and antibiotics. But the most critical and dramatic work that Paul has done with me has been the balancing of my Yin. A serious deficiency has been greatly decreased over the years; the tonifying teas, the diet ideas and even the Ya Ching Music for Health that Paul has prescribed for me have made a world of difference in my life!
I cannot thank him enough! Nor can I recommend anyone more highly than I do Paul Olko—a knowledgeable, caring and committed practitioner of Chinese herbology.

I just want to thank you so much for all the tremendous healing you have fostered upon my, at times, very broken body. I am not sure how my body would have made such amazing recoveries without your healing touch and home exercise sheets. It has been many years now that I have been coming to you and am most grateful you have maintained such quality in your work and the presence you bring to working on my various aching parts. I have also been most thankful for your warm support and insights at some very difficult times of my life. Thank you for that friendship and offerings of perspective when I really needed them. Justine and I wish you, Lisa and the children the very best Christmas and restful holidays possible. We hope that the incredible love you have for each other and the children continues to expand and deepen. And during these holidays I am reflecting upon and grateful for friends like you. Thanks for everything.

Thanks so much for your kind gift of the vitamin supplements and the tea. I have been using and enjoying the Wellness Essentials and the Tao tea since they arrived at my doorstep. I did find my appointment card and it did say June 29th, for whatever reason . . . It does not matter now at all and though I cannot make the July 29th date because I will be out of town, I will call and make another appointment, probably for the fall.
You did so much to help my neck heal and I really appreciate all of the work you did to aid its recovery. I know it is because of your help that it got better so soon. I was hoping to tell you how great my neck was feeling at that appointment, but it is just as easy to explain to you how ecstatic I am about the rapid healing in written words. I don’t know what I would have done without your healing powers. Probably been in pain for a lot longer than I was.
I am sure we can find a good time for me to come in now that it is no longer an emergency. I would be happy to have proactive, preventive work done on my neck so I don’t end up in the state I found myself in at the beginning of the summer. Thanks again for all you did for me as well as the overly generous gift you sent. I hope you are enjoying the rest of your summer.
