Patty Subick

Chris Shelton and Patty Subick "One Saturday in January 1994 as I was working in the computer room of a large company and as I was getting up out of my chair all of a sudden a shape pain went down my left leg. I suffered from this pain for a year and 4 months; in that time the pain was in the lower lumbar 4 and 5 regions as well as the sciatica in the left leg. I was on 14 pain pills a day and nothing was helping. I did physical therapy and saw a chiropractor as well and still no help.

In May of 1995 I had a spinal operation because I became bedridden. This did stop the pain in the sciatica but did nothing for the lower spine. I was eating pain pills by the bottles and they helped in the first hour or so of each dosage. I went back to work 11 months after the surgery and that was hard. I eventually weaned off of the pain pills but I put on weight due to the lack of exercise and the increase in eating (depression I am sure). In January 2001 I left my job because it was too difficult to manage the heavy lifting of reports and boxes of copy paper.

Through work I became friends with Paul Dorian and he told me about Chris Shelton so after several weeks of hesitation I decided to go and see him. On Good Friday March 21, 2008 I had my first appointment with Chris. After talking to Chris and giving a brief history of my health he made adjustments to my lower body and then asked me to walk around the office area and I did; he asked if I felt any pain and I still had a stiffness across the hip area; again he made adjustments and I started walking around and then I realized I no longer had the pain which had been there since 1994; that moment can’t be described by words other than surprise and shock and yes the tears began as well. Chris told me to continue to walk and so I have done just that. I hike up at Rancho San Antonio Park every weekend four miles each day. Chris has made only one adjustment since my first visit and I am very grateful for his presence in my life. I continue to see Chris and I also attend Tuesday Qigong classes."

Chris Shelton and Sasha V. "As a holistic healer myself, as well as a big fan of qigong practice, I came to see Chris because I wanted to find out what it was like to receive a medical qigong treatment. The work he did made such a difference in my energy level that I continued on a course of treatment lasting several weeks. The persistent low-grade fatigue I felt since my daughter was born two and a half years ago is gone. That seemingly small thing has made a huge difference in my life. Based on my experience, I recommend medical qigong not only for the treatment of serious illness but also as part of a holistic approach to wellness for anyone working on optimizing health."

Chris Shelton and Matt Neilson "I met Mr. Shelton in April of 2002. At the time, I was very ill and disabled. I had had several health maladies for several years: Lupus, chemical sensitivities, immune system deregulation, central nervous system damage, and others. In February of 2002, I became ill with the flu. A few weeks later I came down with pneumonia.

While I had been seriously disabled before the pneumonia/flu incident, I became significantly more disabled after contracting these illnesses. By the time I met Mr. Shelton, I had degenerated to the point that I could not care for myself without assistance. Some of the major complaints are as follows: 1)very nervous 2)prone to contracting viral and bacterial infections 3)body feeling very cold 4)could not go outside because temps were to cold for me to endure without contracting some time of viral or bacterial infection 5)muscle aches/pains throughout body 6)proneness to physical injury 7)loss of approximately 30% of normal body weight 8)difficulty eliminating 9)excessive urination 10)jaundice 11)a wide variety of significantly abnormal blood values 12)extreme pain in stomach during and after eating (poor digestion) etc.

To remediate these health maladies, Mr. Shelton recommended a two-pronged approach: Qi Emissiu Therapy sessions and instruction in Qi Gong (self practice). Mr. Shelton and I worked together for 10 months on this endeavor.

Gradually all of the complaints cited began to improve. While I did not make a complete recovery, I did make significant gains: I can now go outside; aches and pains have significantly declined in sensitivity; I weigh more and am stronger; I can do more for myself; digestion is greatly improved; edema has significantly declined; jaundice resolved; energy increased; etc.

This was a monumental task, given the stress I was under. My understanding is that stress can be a strong detourant to this type of therapy. If I did not receive this type of therapy when I did, I do not believe that I would be alive today! I say thank you to Mr. Shelton a million times over. He came into my home to treat me because I was too ill to leave. He came into abject environmental conditions. He put up with my personality quirks of which I have many. He gave me a generous discount on his rates because of my low income status. He made a commitment to me well enough to make the move that was inevitable at the end of our 10 month association.

For all these reasons, I have no reservations recommending Mr. Shelton to anyone interested in improving their health. He is a genuine, dedicated professional with compassion and understanding.

Improved health will surely evolve for anyone who makes a genuine, dedicated commitment to working with him. Good will and health to you all!"

Chris Shelton and Matt Neilson "When I first started seeing Chris in clinic, he strongly suggested that I have a mammogram. I had never had a questionable mammogram, had no family history of breast cancer, and it hadn’t been long since my last mammogram so I was a little skeptical at first. However, he was very persistent and kept after me until I scheduled a test. Before I went for my test, I asked him where the problem was and he told me the location.

To make a long story short, I had the mammogram, my doctor’s office called me the same day to tell me there was a problem and that they were scheduling me for another mammogram. I was called in for the second mammogram the following morning…at Stanford. By “called in” I mean I received a call and was told to be there in one hour! I was in there for a very long time as the technician had to take multiple xrays at various angles and magnifications. However, the technician told me where they were looking and it was the exact spot where Chris said it would be (the emphasis is mine). Not only that, but the radiologist’s report said the spot was too small to biopsy (again, the emphasis is mine). Let me be very clear about this, the spot was very deep, against the chest wall.

I personally believe the fact that it was too small to biopsy is the only thing that saved me from a surgical solution.

I was told to come back in six months for another mammogram.

Was I scared? Absolutely!

Chris worked on me in clinic every week for the next six months. He also gave me homework, which I did diligently. I followed every suggestion that Chris made. Trust me, I was motivated. At six months, my mammogram showed a reduction in the spot.

Chris continued to work on me and at twelve months I was given a clean bill of health.

It is my sincere hope that someone else will benefit from my experience. The most wonderful things can happen in spite of a frightening diagnosis.

Chris has my total trust and I am deeply grateful for his help."

Chris Shelton and Matt Neilson "Diagnosis by a neurologist was that two disks had fused together and surgery was recommended. I was hesitant to follow this advice as I knew of several people that had back surgery without good results. Subsequently, I was advised by a friend and patient of Chris Shelton to get a second opinion. As a result, he advised chi gong treatment with him. Treatments and exercise after approximately one year proved to be beneficial. I no longer have any pain. I am able to walk pain-free. "

Chris Shelton and Matt Neilson "Thank you so much for all you have done for me I haven’t had a migraine since you healed me. I always say you saved my life, Thanks. I used to get migraine headaches pretty often (4or5 serious migraine headaches a year).They would last anywhere from 1 day to a couple weeks, one lasted a whole month it was terrible. I couldn't eat, sleep or stand the light, the pain would cause me to throw up all day it was unbearable. I went to a couple of doctors and they couldn’t tell me what was causing this nor could they help me with the pain, they gave me medicine that didn’t help. So I called Christopher at Morning Crane and he set me up an appointment that day, which I was happy and great full for. He did an evaluation and worked on me that day and I went home with only a small headache and was able to eat and sleep. The next day I felt much better and I went back a few days later for my second session and after that session I was already headache free. I went back a few more times and have not got a migraine since seeing Christopher. I tell everyone I know to call Morning crane for any pain management or ailments that might be bothering them. Don't procrastinate you'll be happy you called I was. Thanks for healing me Christopher! USH!"

"Over the last 10 years I had been in several car accidents which had left my shoulders and neck feeling tense all the time. Often this would lead to bad headaches. I had gone to regular physical therapy and taken various drugs that either didn't work or lasted only temporarily. Once I started participating in sparring classes at my gym, the problem worsened to the point where I would have headaches and stiffness in my neck all the time, and sometimes migranes. Dr. Shelton was recommended to me by one of Cung Le's fight team coaches. Dr. Shelton treats all of his fighters, so I decided to give him a try.

After the first visit I felt better than I had felt in 5 years. All the stiffness in my neck was gone! He continued to treat me for my neck problems for a while, now I only have to go in once in a while for treatment. In fact it has been over 4 months since my last visit and I'm still feeling pretty good!

Dr. Shelton has also helped me recover from a reconstructed ACL, foot problems, and others. I have been whole heartedly recommending him to anyone with chronic pain, especially people that conventional medicine doesn't seem to help."

"I was referred to Chris from my mother who heard about him from word of mouth. Skeptical I agreed to go see him for a severe anxiety problem that I had developed with school. For some reason I couldn’t seem to complete a whole day of high school without an anxiety attack, in fact I would usually have to leave school by 2nd period. After the first session I was able to attend at least two to three full days of school without any problems and after a few weeks I was able to complete a whole week of school. Chris gave me simple Qigong practices that I could do when I felt an anxiety attack coming on that really worked! He also talked to me about the importance of diet and how it played a part in the anxiety I was experiencing. Chris was definitely a huge help in resolving my anxiety!"

"After suffering a debilitating back injury I was recommended to Chris Shelton of Morning Crane Healing Arts Center by a close friend. I enjoyed immediate incremental relief from my back pain on every visit with increased mobility and stability. Chris spent the entire one hour session with me treating my pain on all levels with great success. He focused on me and helped relieve my pain. I also went to a traditional physical therapist who started all my sessions five minutes late and ended my session 5 minutes early, had me work with a trainey for 15 minutes and put me on ice a stem for 15 minutes. Long story short the physical therapist and I spent about 20 minutes of our one hour session together with little or no progress made. The fact that I had a different physical therapist every session did not help either. I whole heartedly recommend Chris and have asked my doctor to make him my exclusive therapist."
