Uterine Fibroids

For more than two years Paul Olko has provided Chinese Herbal Care for me and my son and daughter.

Paul obviously loves his work with herbs. His belief in their effectiveness is contagious. When I would ask him about a health problem I was experiencing, his response was thorough and enthusiastic. Paul has always been sensitive to my information, impressions and experience. His prescriptions never failed to help and cure my problems.

Paul has given me herbs which shrank uterine fibroids, for flu, colds, digestive problems, weight loss, lack of energy, estrogen deficiency, ear and eye irritations. Paul has successfully treated my son for asthma and nervous disorders with herbs. He has assisted my daughter in recovering from chronic fatigue syndrome.

It has been an adventure for me to prepare teas from the original herbal mixtures Paul prescribes from his huge store of ingredients.

Paul is my first choice of help when I have a medical problem. He has given me faith that I can heal my body and often my mind and emotions with Chinese herbs in a safe, balance and altogether beneficial manner without negative side effects.

Thank you for sending the herbs. Also I’m glad you reminded me of the 6 days on—1 day off. I had forgotten. The good news is the fibroid has reduced from 3 to 1 cm, though why is not clear. I will contact you if I need a refill or different herbs. Thanks.

When I was told last summer that I was very anemic and had a dangerously sick condition in my uterus, further complicated by the presence of a large mass on my right ovary, I became desperate. However, in the midst of being told that surgery to remove my ovary and perhaps the uterus was the cure, I went to see you. At the time, your message was simple and clear; perhaps too simple compared to today’s “advanced” medicine. You said, “Give yourself time to heal before rushing into removing your organs which are meant to be a part of you. In other words, the last option to consider should be the knife.” Suddenly, a rush of hope and logic was present in my life. Yes, I discovered the way to get to the root of my health problems. So under your guidance, I began to fortify and care for my neglected body. After a week of treatment, and in spite of my doctors, my system started to fall into balance and immediate results were experienced. Four months later, the anemia was history, my uterus cleared up completely, and the mass in the ovary was reduced to the point of no concern.

This has been a great Christmas gift, the gift of health.

For your wisdom and encouragement and patience, thank you.

For your ability to deal with a woman desperately grasping at straws for immediate cure, thank you.

For helping me to understand the value of the “second spring” of my life, thank you.

For taking care of my daughter’s problems, and her child’s, thank you.

Have a wonderful Christmas, along with your family.

Uterine Strengthening

For a number of years, dating back as early as 1982, I have had the pleasure of experiencing the proficiency of Paul Olko’s Chinese Herbal Care.

I have had continued success over the years with the many Chinese herbal formulas that Paul has prescribed for me, as well as for my daughter.

It is my firm conviction that the expertise and knowledge of Paul Olko in providing me with very thorough consultations, diagnoses and prescribed Chinese formulas, have been the reasons why I have experienced such success. Paul also provided a comfort that enabled me to participate in a healing process of this nature.

He has treated me for problems, from minor ones such as colds, influenza, ear and eye infections, to more complex formulas for uterus strengthening, hormonal balancing and postpartum depression.

Considering Paul operates a very high volume practice, he has always provided me with extreme quality care.

I consider myself very fortunate to have the availability of a Chinese herbalist of Paul Olko’s caliber.

Weight

In answer to a questionnaire on his Herbal Health Program from Paul Olko, C.S. states tI 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.

—E. H. H.hat he did everything Paul recommended as part of the program for three months. As a result his primary complaint of warts was helped 25% in his estimation. C.S. also sought help from an M.D. and from surgery, having cauterization used on the warts on his foot and rectum burned off with an electric needle.

—C.S.

I began the Herbal Health Program as a means of reducing my body weight and cleansing a sluggish-feeling system. I had known Paul Olko for over 2 years and had a clear sense of his competency and sincere desire to be of service to others. Also, I’d always been a “plant person” and had a strong respect for the plant kingdom. I chose to implement only part of his overall program; dietary changes, herbal teas and fasting with increased awareness of the other areas suggested. The excess weight has melted away gradually and effortlessly—I have a sense of my body finding its “true” proportions for the first time. There is also a peaceful knowing that I will be able to maintain my ideal weight and health without anxiety. For me it has been and continues to be a re-introduction to a body I barely knew after 34 years of living with it.

Thank you Paul! Your gentle, professional approach was just the catalyst I needed!

I feel great! I’m losing weight. I think of you often and am reminded of your gentle guidance. Thank you for changing my life!

Answering a questionnaire about her Herbal Health Program from Paul Olko, J.E.S. responds that she used herbs and followed about 50% to 70% the program regarding diet and fasting for nine months, with regular re-evaluations and at that time was still noticing progress. She writes, “In reviewing all of your recommendations, I found each part clear and easily available to/for me. I didn’t feel I could “afford” the bee pollen and I have held onto my resistance to establishing a regular exercise program in spite of encouragement and support from several areas.” She feels her primary complain of excess weight was improved about 75%, writing, “The excess weight affected all my systems. I now not only look much better, but I feel much cleaner and lighter.” Other modalities she sought help from were occasional supplements, chiropractic, and body therapy, flower essences, affirmations, rebirthing and conscious breathing. She felt each of these modalities contributed to the success of the program. She was finally able to accept herself as a slender, attractive woman in spite of images of being “comfortably” overweight. Of the Herbal Health Program she writes, “When I first received it, and now as I review it eight months later, it still feels very comprehensive, addressing each level of my well-being. I use it as a blueprint for continued health awareness. I only received massage [from Paul] once and felt it was exactly what I needed. I saw my chiropractor later that day and he remarked on my exceptionally good condition.”

Thank you Paul and Lisa Olko for the great health changes you both have developed in me over the last year. By following both your dietary and supplemental advice, I have lost over twenty pounds and my LDL (bad cholesterol) has been reduced 45 points from 180 to 135. I took no statins, I had no bad side effects, but I experienced changes that give me a manageable balance I have been looking 21 years for.

I would like older women who think they cannot lose weight because of their slowed down metabolism to know that I did. My fifty-eight year old body has transformed and it is amazing to me! It was simple, easy and I don’t feel deprived when I follow your guidelines. I eat a lot of satisfying food. I just eat it in a different way. I only wonder what incredible shape I would be in if I completely followed your directions!!

Yeast Infection

I became acquainted with Paul Olko about ten years ago. At that time I had no knowledge or understanding of Chinese Herbology and very little exposure to holistic health in general. In time I found myself calling on Paul for basic health care through the use of Chinese herbs.

Our first consultation, which I found to be most thorough, dealt with general complaints of fatigue as well as chronic problems with cold extremities. The herbal formulas he prescribed at that time were most helpful. We continued this treatment for coldness over a several year period, even after I relocated to a chillier climate, and I feel the Chinese herbs were successful in adjusting my energy.

In addition, Paul Olko successfully treated me on several occasions for such things as bladder and yeast infections and helped me through more than a few winter colds. That is why it was not surprising to me when I eventually began to work as Paul’s office assistant that I also witnessed numerous clients such as myself regaining health through Paul’s extensive knowledge of Chinese herbology.

In recent years I have been treated by other Chinese Herbologists and O.M.D.s in various parts of the country. In comparison, I must say that Paul Olko’s knowledge of Chinese Herbology is invaluable and very extensive. I am very grateful for the loving care that I have received from Paul Olko over the years and continue to call on his knowledge and expertise.

Yin Deficiency

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.

Yoga

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.

I see yoga and massage as important tools in helping one’s health. The yoga postures are ideal for everyone of all ages because of Paul’s gentle and understandable approach. The poses help to keep the body loose and flexible especially the spine. It is an excellent method for toning the body, keeping the mind alert and relaxing the nerves.

I highly recommend Paul as a yoga instructor for whatever appropriate level class, school or college.

—R. A. G., M.D.

I would like to recommend Paul Olko for a position as a Yoga Therapist.

Paul has worked under my direction as a Yoga Therapist from January 1981 through August 1982. He has worked with various populations such as: Alcohol and Drug, Adult Psychiatric, Adolescent Drug and Psychiatric, and Geriatric Patients.

I see Yoga and Massage as an important tool to aid in relaxation, relief of body tension, calming of the mind, and making one comfortable internally and with their environment.

I have found Paul to be of a very high caliber. His teaching ability has been sensitive to patient needs, clear in his explanations and demonstrations, and enlightening with his new ideas.

I highly recommend Paul as a Yoga Instructor.
