FASTT Patch Healed a 2nd Degree Muscle Tear in 2 Days
Douglas Williams D.C., Ontario, Oregon, February 2005
Last summer I was walking at the end of our pool and just gingerly stepped over the diving board and felt a stabbing and debilitating pain at the posterior of my left calf. I immediately could not support weight on that leg without the excruciating pain returning. I hobbled to the patio were I could sit and analyze the problem. Passive movement of my foot into dorsiflexion or plantar flexionas well as eversion or inversion was pain free. But, the moment I tried to plantar flex weight bearing and actively move my leg or support my weight on the left calf, I could not bear the pain.
You sent me... FASTT Patch so my wife kindly went to the office to get one. By the time she returned (about 30 minutes), there was already extravasations of blood and bruising at the inferior aspect of the left calf. Deep palpation of the calve elicited a pain sensation that helped me pinpoint the area of what I self diagnosed as a grade 2 tear in the muscle belly. I have to be honest with you; I had reservations as to the outcome of using an herbal patch on the injury, especially with the claimed expectation of short term recovery by you. In less than 24 hours, I could bear weight on my injured calf; and in less
than 2 days, I felt NO PAIN whatsoever! Amazing!
Now I have to admit one more thing. I often forget to think herbally when it comes to acute or chronic sprain/strain but I am slowly beginning to get more confident in the patient response to the therapy. I have prescribed Wei Products for moderate COPD and tendonitis as well. Thank you for your help and the great product.
FASTT Patch Healed an Acute Back Strain in 1 week
Bruce A. Magill, D.C., Irving Texas, December 2004
I wanted you to know how impressed I am with your products. I had only been using your patches with patients for a couple of months when I had the opportunity to personally experience them.
I was playing basketball and as I went up for a rebound, I was hit from behind hyper-extending my low back and spraining my left SI joint. It took everything I had just to get to my feet and get home. That night I could not sleep as every time I moved the pain woke me up. About 5 a.m. I drove to my office and hobbled in to get a FASTT Patch. After I applied it and returned home I was finally able to rest. In about 4 hours the pain was reduced by at least 50%. I wore the patch for 48 hours, took a few hours off and placed a new one on for another 48 hours. In one week I was 90% better and now am completely recovered.
What impressed me the most is the speed and depth of the recovery. I have a grade 3-4 spondylolisthesis. With chiropractic care, clinical nutrition, and exercise, this condition seldom bothers me but it is very easily injured. It has many years since I had any problems but I was very concerned with this episode. Your product really works.
FASTT Patch Healed a 2nd Degree Ankle Sprain in 4 Days
James Guetzkow, MD FP, Los Gatos, California, February 2004
This is a narrative of the case of a vigorous, healthy, young triathlon athlete, who was running as per his usual custom on December 12, 2001, when he suffered a lateral inversion sprain of the right lateral ankle. He was seen at the ambulatory care center of Kaiser Hospital on Kiely Blvd, Santa Clara, the following day, where an x-ray was taken and a second degree sprain documented. The x-rays were negative for fracture. He was given a walking boot brace and told to wear it for six weeks.
He was seen in my office on December 17, as he had learned of the FASTT Patch, and hoped this would help him to an early cure. On examination of the right lateral ankle it was ecchymotic and swollen both above and below the right lateral malleolus. The FASTT Patch was applied. The patient was given extra patches to continue application of new patches on alternate days.
He returned to the office on December 21, 2001, and reported that he had been able to resume his exercise and, in fact, earlier today had bicycled for 45 minutes without any pain. He has noticed that the swelling has gone away and the pain has virtually cleared. He is no longer using a boot brace. He reports there is some residual swelling in the supra-lateral malleolar area; however, this is not where the medicine patch had been applied. On examination the area of application no longer has any swelling, and there was no laxity of effusion of the ankle joint noticed. There is a slight residual ecchymosis covering most of the lateral foot. The bony prominences were nontender. He is walking without a limp. He states that he has been active throughout the week in his usual way, with his usual work, and has not spent time with the foot elevated.
My impression was that this was a severe sprain with soft-tissue injury, partial tear of the lateral collateral ligaments, and a joint effusion. I was extremely impressed by the rapidity of clearing and return of function that occurred in just four days under the FASTT Patch treatment.
FASTT Patch Healed a 2nd Degree Ankle Sprain in 6 Days
Copied from TransitionTimes.com:Ohio, December 2003
I would assume it to be relatively obvious to anyone who has seen me wobbling around on crutches or a cane in the past few weeks why I’d be writing about this product. As a complete klutz, I suffered a Level 2 ankle sprain and tore some ligaments mid-September, so I thought it would be a great time to try out the FASTT Patch. I must admit, I was more than a little skeptical about a 4-day healing time. I’ve sprained and broken ankles before (a certified klutz), and have never has a heal time of less than 6 weeks, much less 6 days. I applied the FASTT Patch as directed, and not-so-patiently waited. To make this as scientific as possible - I measured the ankle at the beginning, as well as at various point throughout the process, and measured pain in a 1-10 scale (1 being mild pain, 10 great pain) for reference.
Day 1:
60% reduction in swelling, pain level 7, no weight bearing tolerance.
Day 2:
~10% reduction in swelling (70% total), pain level 6, no weight tolerance.
Day 3:
Change FASTT Patch, go to bed. No measurements.
Day 4:
Swelling negligible, pain level 5, some weigh tolerance.
Day 5:
No visible swelling, pain level 4, weight bearing (No crutches!).
Day 6:
No swelling, pain level 3, full weight bearing, remove FASTT Patch.
Day 7:
Played hockey (poorly) that evening. No major issues with the ankle.
So: was I completely “on track” with the 4 day heal time on my level 2 sprain? Not exactly, but I was so much farther ahead than if I’d not used the FASTT Patch, and I was completely amazed (and pleased) with the results. I can’t explain why it works, or how it works. I can only verify that it did work for me. Thanks WEI!
FASTT Patch Healed a Knee Injury in 4 Days
Dale H. Olin, D.C., Loveland, Colorado, June 2004
On Thursday, May the 20th, I got out of bed and as I started to walk both my ankles and knees started popping. I knew this was not a good sign. Within a few hours my right knee, which had been injured in the past, was starting to swell and pain set in. By Saturday the swelling and pain was so severe that I could not put any weight on it so I was unable to walk. It just so happened that I had called your office and asked for some of your sample patches, they arrived Saturday afternoon. Within 15 minutes of applying the FASTT Patches to my knee I was able to at least put some weight on it which allowed me to hobble around. By Sunday I was walking with a limp and today, Monday, it is continuing to improve. I am very impressed and that is why I am ordering more of your products.
FASTT Patch Healed a 6 Weeks Old Muscle Strain in 5 Days
Domenico Manconi, PT, Sydney, Australia, March 2004
The patient I was treating had a 1st degree muscle strain in his thigh. I was treating his leg with soft tissue massage and I also made the patient do rehabilitation exercises to strengthen the area but for 6 weeks the thigh was not responding. I decided to use the FASTT Patch on the thigh and continue the exercises in between. With just 2 patches the injury was completely healed in 5 days. I was amazed and he is now continuing playing sports with no pain.
FASTT Patch Healed a 4 Months Old Ankle Sprain in 10 Days
James Scott Parker, PT, Sydney, Australia, May 2004
I was treating a patient for the last 4 months for a chronic ankle sprain. I used conventional treatments like massaging; rehabilitation exercises and we could not get any results. Finally I decided to use your FASTT Patches. With the 1st 2 patches my patient noticed significant difference in pain levels and by the 4th FASTT Patch he was cured completely of the injury he had suffered for 4 months in 10 days.
FASTT Patch Healed a Chronic Groin Muscle Pull in 2 Weeks
Patient from Illinois, January 2004
I wanted to thank Wei Laboratories for a wonderful product. I had a muscle pull in my groin for approximately 3 months before a recommendation to your product. I did have to order 6 patches overall, but I expected as much. I am very happy to say that I am completely pain free, even though my injury was indeed 3 months old. I felt the need to let you know how much I appreciate what the FASTT Patch has done for me.
FASTT Patch Healed an Acute Back Injury Overnight
Patient from Cary, North Carolina, March 2007
Last week our family took a spring break vacation to Park City, Utah, for a skiing trip with our children. As you can imagine we were very excited to have this time together. The first morning of our four day stay my back went out. I've battled a herniated disc at L4 and a bulging disc at L5 for five years now. The money I've spent on chiropractic and physical therapy totals in the thousands. I was devastated when this happened on our vacation as you can imagine. Usually, I face two weeks of acute pain once the disc has slipped. Crushed, I started asking around for a chiropractor in Park City. I was lucky to find Dr. Sean Mann. The next morning I visited Dr. Mann's office and he spent an hour working on my adjustments, massage and traction. At the end of the visit my muscles were screaming and he recommended the Wei FASTT Patch. I bulked at the price initially but would have paid much more for any pain relief. He placed a large patch over my disc area told me to purchase a heat pack and continue my stretches. I called my husband who was on the slopes with our children and told him I would not be skiing and that I was going back to our condo to nurse my pain. I struggled to close my car door and drove cautiously to Wal-Mart to buy the hot pack. I walked carefully into Wal-Mart and looked for the right isle. Suddenly, I realized my pain level was dramatically reduced. It had only been about 20 minutes since I called my husband and told him how much pain I was in. I called him back to say I was feeling so much better. He could not believe me because routinely I'm incapacitated for weeks once my disc goes out!! I went back to the condo sat in the Jacuzzi and then went shopping at nearby outlet malls for the rest of the afternoon! The next day I was back on the slopes!!! I wore the patch for three days and finished out our vacation relatively pain free (except for my aching calves and thighs from skiing!)
I've never experienced such immediate and dramatic pain relief for my back. After looking at your website I'm still not sure I understand exactly what is in that patch but I would whole heartedly recommend anyone in pain try them. I still can't get over the pain relief with no side effects. There was no down side and your product saved our family's vacation. Thank you and God bless your
business.

FASTT Patch Healed a Rotator Cuff Injury in 5 Days
Patient from Oklahoma, March 2004
WOW. Thank you for the relief your product has brought me. A rotator cuff injury was robbing me of a decent nights sleep and my doctor was talking surgery. NO MORE PAIN. I have used only two FASTT Patches and the pain is gone. I will use the remaining one for insurance, but really don’t need it. I have suffered with this for probably 5 to 6 months and it was just getting worse. My thanks to you.
FASTT Patch Healed a Dancer’s Fracture in 2 Weeks
Al Powell, Personal Trainer, Cleveland, Ohio, April 2004
I am writing to thank you for you FASTT Patch. I am a personal trainer, and one of my football players step in a pot hole running, and got an avulsion fracture of the fifth metatarsal, also called a "Dancer's fracture". I used your FASTT Patch and his foot healed up twice as fast, it cut six week to three. He still has to go easy until it totally heals but he was walking without crutches in two weeks. I am now recommending this FASTT Patch to all coaches and trainers I know. Also my brother in-law had cartilage soreness after falling and I let him use the white patches and he said it really helped his recovery so he was back to work much faster than expected. Thanks for your great proven (in my book) product; I am recommending it to all coaches and trainers I know.
FASTT Patch Healed a Compression Stress Fracture in 5 Days
Donna A Good, DOM, AP, Sanford Florida, October 2003
I want to tell you that I think you FASTT and WHITEE Patches are just remarkable. I have successfully treated my 99-year-old Grandmother with a compression stress fracture of the lower spine twice over the last 6 months
and she has healed fast on both occasions, with 70% pain gone after one FASTT Patch treatment and pain free after the 2nd FASTT Patch. It had been suggested that she undergo radiological studies by her medical doctor. I asked him that if it showed what we knew she had, what would be one about it. Surgical intervention would not have been an appropriate treatment medically or realistically. In fact I honestly believe if she had been hospitalized she would not be alive today.
I have also successfully treated patients with torn ACL’s, rotator cuff injuries, carpel tunnel with the FASTT Patch and bone on bone osteoarthritis with the WHITEE Patches. I think I am your biggest advocate with patients and other
health care providers and will continue to promote your business and products in every networking opportunity I engage in.
FASTT Patch Healed a Non-union Calcanus Fracture in 3 Weeks
Joyce Skudris, Gymnastics Coach, Doylestown, Pennsylvania, October 2003
I just spoke with Sarah today to purchase my fourth FASTT Patch therapy (one was another coach and athlete via my recommendation). Two are gymnasts, one a dancer. All had either fractured or stress fractured their ankles and metatarsis respectively. My dancer has again injured her metatarsis area by jumping incorrectly with her current ballet company.
I am submitting this testimonial for you to use however necessary to get the word out about this fabulous herbal remedy. As a true herbal and neutraceutical believer I had no problem in initiating this therapy after having found you on the internet. The true recommendation comes from my athletes and their healing times. One girl had an old fracture that just would not respond to the rest and traditional healing process. We were frustrated with the re-injuring and pain accompanying it. Nine months after the initial injury and subsequent additional surgery we used FASTT Patch on the calcaneus and within three weeks she was pain free and using the ankle again in high impact tumbling etc. of gymnastics.
Then a younger athlete with chronic ankle and heel problems fractured her ankle again while under my training; we ordered FASTT Patch and she was competing again within a few weeks.
Most recently my daughter, a ballerina, hurt her metatarsis. Knowing that it is either a tendon issue or perhaps a stress fracture, and knowing that FASTT Patch
will speed up the process of healing nutrients and energy reaching the sight of the injury I have again called upon the wonderful healing properties of your herbal formulation to help in her healing. My athletes and dancer and the results they achieved quickly and painlessly are all the testimony you really need. My girls and I are thrilled with your product. Keep up the great work.
FASTT Patch Healed a Non-union Tibia Stress Fracture in 4 Days
James Guetzkow, MD FP, Los Gatos, California, December 2001
The patient presented to my office on November 20, 2001 for a prolonged right shin stress fracture. He is a triathlete and originally noticed the onset of pain in the shin in August of 2001, which was diagnosed by his physician as a stress fracture. The patient was treated with a cast from the last week of September, for four weeks. After the cast was removed, a bone scan was done which showed an area of hot spots on the technetium scan, which coincided with his perception of the site of pain in the lower shin. At this point, the pain in the upper shin, which had been present before the application of the cast, has disappeared. One month later, the patient was still experiencing pain in the lower shin with the perception of irregular swelling along the shin bone in that area. There was no externally visible skin sign other than that. The patient had not been able to exercise on his doctor's orders through the end of the year.
The FASTT patch was applied to the lower shin over the area of symptomatic pain and discontinued the following day. The second patch was applied on the third day and left to stand for three more days until it was taken off on
Thanksgiving, November 22, 2001. At this point, the patient had no more pain. This had been a pain that had been persistent for three months. The FASTT patch left an area of free rash but was surrounded by erythema, which developed over the 24 hours after the FASTT patch was discontinued on Thanksgiving.
On examination in my office today, there is no tenderness or swelling in the area of prior injury and the patient declares there is no pain. An erythematous rash consistent with an allergic topical dermatitis was present surrounding the area that had received the direct herbal medication. The area of direct application however did not have a rash; therefore, it is presumed that he had contact dermatitis through the material of canvas, which contained the herbal medicine and extended out beyond it. The patient's impression was very positive; he felt that it had definitely helped him, and he would be motivated to treat future injuries with the FASTT patch. This appeared to be a success.
FASTT Patch Accelerated Healing of Various Fractures
D. L. Driscoll, D.C., P.C. Colorado Springs, Colorado, September 2004
I have had the opportunity to use the Wei FASTT Patch for various fractures in my practice, to include a Thumb, Ribs, ulna, and metatarsals. All of these were acute injuries that healed within 4-6 weeks, while allowing the patient to regain usual activity within 2 weeks. The FASTT Patch has also been used to shorten healing time for cartilage tears as well as abdominal muscle tears. I am very impressed with your product, as well as the rapid response from your representatives.
FASTT Patch Completely Healed a Tendonitis in 1 Week
Christy L. Constantin, D.C., The Woodlands, Texas, January, 2005
My experience with both the FASTT and WHITEE Patches has been very positive each time I’ve used them, either with myself or my patients. My husband and I have been building our own home for the past year, so have been prone to multiple overuse and sprain/strain type injuries. I have used the FASTT Patches primarily as a last resort when I’ve been unable to resolve the particular injury myself. I’ve used them for a hamstring strain (refused to resolve after 3 months of treatment), wrist extension tendonitis (3 times!), AC joint sprain and rotator cuff tendonitis. In all cases, resolution was accomplished after the 2nd or 3rd FASTT Patch. The injuries were often to the point that I was barely able to function (especially the wrist extension tendonitis and resultant wrist or finger pain) before using the FASTT Patches. The pain was
detectably diminished after even just the first FASTT Patch. I’ve also used the FASTT Patch successfully on several chronic, non-resolving rotator cuff tendonitis patients, and it has resolved their pain successfully each time.
FASTT Patch Healed a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Patient of Pamela Stratton, A.P., Rockport, Massachusetts, June 2005.
In January of 2005, I was diagnosed with severe carpal tunnel syndrome. Instead of taking the doctor’s recommendation for immediate surgery on both hands, I tried less invasive alternatives. Pamela Stratton of the Acupuncture Center of Cape Ann recommended the FASTT Patch and LC Balancer. I added these treatments to the wrist brace and a low maintenance schedule of acupuncture.
By the third patch of the first series, I was seeing significant improvement. I could pick up dishes without dropping them and the range of motion at my thumbs was improved. As I complete the second series of FASTT Patches, I was able to complete fine motor tasks such as zipping and tying, braiding hair and using elastics, using screwdriver, and food preparation. It took longer for the numbness in my hands to develop and work up my arm and the strength in my wrist and fingers was better.
By the end of the third series of FASTT Patches and LC Balancer, I have had a 70% overall improvement in my wrist and hands. Thank you Pamela Stratton of the Acupuncture Center of Cape Ann and Wei Laboratories for the noninvasive treatments that work.
FASTT Patch Healed a Wrist Tendonitis
Andy Lowe, NP, Herts, United Kingdom, July 2005
A lady came to me for extreme pain in the wrist due to tendonitis, she could not move her hand, was even painful for me to help her put the patch on. Later that evening she could feel tingling and sensation returning to her finger tips. This week she reports a lot better can grip things lightly now and has re-gained a lot more movement. Very pleased!
FASTT Patch Healed an Intercostal Neuralgia in 5 Days
Robert L. Meliodon, D.C., P.C., Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, August 2005
A 55 years old male presented to my office in the beginning of May complaining of severe acute low back pain. The patient was alert, awake and cooperative, well developed and reasonably fit with no other pathology present.
The patient began conservative specific chiropractic adjustments to the L5 vertebrae, three times per week for four weeks. By the end to the treatment plan, the low back pain had been fully resolved. However, by the second week, the patient had developed severe intercostal neuralgia on the right side at the 11th rib just posterior to the mid-axillary line. After questioning the patient, it was determined that the intercostals neuralgia was the result of the patient having frequently assumed a twisted antalgic posture whenever possible both day and night. Despite the fact that the low back pain had been successfully treated, the patient related that by mid June the intercostal neuralgia had gotten worse even
though he had discontinued the offending antalgic posture for two weeks.
The patient was placed on moist heat therapy at home and diathermy in the office. After four weeks, the problem had neither worsened nor improved but remained as a severe discomfort. In addition to the heat modalities, the patient was taking medications prescribed by his family physician in the form of Naproxen, Vicodin and Neurontin: none of which helped.
Finally, I prescribed two FASTT Patches from Wei Laboratories following standard treatment protocol and applied the patch to the patient in my office. The patient phoned me the next day to inform me that the pain was reduced by 50 percent. After using just one more FASTT patch the patient informed me one week later that the intercostals neuralgia had completely remitted.
I have used WEI products before with great success and although it did not immediately occur to me to try the FASTT patch in this situation, I am not surprised at having attained wonderful results for the patient. One needs to
keep in mind the possibility that any muscular, skeletal, tendonous or ligamentous injury is a candidate for improvement with WEI patches.
FASTT Patch Accelerated Healing of a Post-surgical Wound
Jan Mead, PT LAC, Fort Collins, Colorado, October 2005
I am a physical therapist and acupuncturist practicing in the state of Colorado. I just had the opportunity to utilize the Fast Patch on a physical therapy patient who had an arthroscopic shoulder repair done in August. My patient and I are both very impressed by the effectiveness of your product! Her pain levels decreased significantly and she has been able to tolerate pushing end range of motion during sessions by at least 50% if not more. She was also able to do without her narcotic pain medication, which she had required to sleep at night as the pain would wake her.
I can see many possible applications for your products in the practice of acupuncture, and physical therapy. I am particularly interested in getting this
product to be used for in-patient rehabilitation. I can see it being beneficial for patients after total knee or hip replacement surgery, compression fractures, total shoulder surgeries and fractures of any kind.
FASTT Patch Speeds Up the Healing of Rotator Cuff Injury
Thomas deVries, DC, Exton PA December 2010
My name is Dr. Tom deVries. I am a chiropractor in Exton PA. I recently used a sample FASTT patch after a mountain biking incident an was amazed at the results. I tend to be a slow healer and when I injured my rotator cuff I expected to suffer for weeks. I rarely take time off for injury, so my injuries tend to really linger. I was asymptomatic in 7 days regardless of a very busy chiropractic schedule and moderately severe injury. It was very dramatic for me. Afterwards I used a WHITEE patch on a chronic knee complaint of my wife's and she
quickly recovered. After my personal experiences, I am very interested in carrying the patches in my office.
