Practicing TVE’s Qi Gong Tai Chi for 3 months lowered Maryann’s high cholesterol problem for the first time in her life that no medicine could have done.

My doctor says that a 400lb man has lower cholesterol than I do. He says it is genetic and I will never have cholesterol less than 200.”

Maryann Eck sought help from her doctor, and despite this diagnosis, she decided to do whatever it took to be as healthy as she could. Her cholesterol was usually around 350 which is very high. Maryann took up Bonsai as a hobby to relieve some of the stress and used salon pas for aches. She used so many, she told us, “My husband says I look like a zombie with all the patches on my body.” Despite her efforts to lower her cholesterol, her number never got below 213, but, since her doctor told her it would never be under 200 , she was, ‘. . . happy with that.’”

In speaking with Dr. Tran, she learned that TVE Tai-Chi could help lower cholesterol, and after practicing at TVE for three months, her cholesterol levels dropped to 194. Maryann tells us, “I believe in Tai Chi. I take medicines everyday and I walk about three miles each morning. I try to do everything, but only Tai-Chi can help.
