Malaysian Entrepreneur Gary Tan Is on a Mission to Use Traditional Chinese Medicine
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Feb. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Building his breakthrough natural medicine based marketing company over the past four years, Gary Tan – a young Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia based entrepreneur and expert on Chinese medicine - continues on a mission to fulfill his branding slogan "Cheerful Skin, Cheerful Sleep" via a breakthrough nutritional product designed to help those suffering from the skin disease Eczema.
The Asian culture's general openness to traditional, natural medicines has driven an expanding client base for the specialized product throughout Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia and the Philippines – and he's rapidly gaining patients in Australia and the UK.
The personal story behind Tan's passion to help makes his success all the more inspiring. It's a true life tale that starts painfully, incorporates a mystical element that seems straight out of mythology but is real and empowering, and ends triumphantly with Tan helping hundreds of fellow Eczema sufferers.
He was in high school when he was suddenly diagnosed with the chronic skin disease. Eczema is a broad term that applies to a range of persistent skin conditions. These include dryness and recurring skin rashes that are characterized by one or more of these symptoms: redness, skin swelling, itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing or bleeding.
Tan was still constantly using moisturizers despite stopping all the steroid based cream. He found that while they may not have been as harmful, they were no more useful. To make sure his skin wouldn't wither, he had to use it every day – and developed what he calls a "miserable" addiction.
"I immediately thought of curing myself in a natural way, but nothing worked," he says. "I suffered from insomnia and was severely depressed, even suicidal at one point. Eventually, it made me decide to not study further in college."
Tan knew he had to beat the addiction. That's when he started to pursue the natural way of healing. Just like any sufferers, he tried all kinds of treatment under the sun - treatments from homeopathy therapy, religious guru, nutritionist, etc.
In the midst of his struggle, a friend gave Tan a traditional Chinese ointment to use, and he was amazed at its efficacy. About 90 percent of his itching disappeared by the second day, and for the first time in years, he slept through the night. Within a few months of using it, he felt like he was back in his own skin. He decided to pay a visit to the TCM Master, a Chinese physician specializing in natural remedies, at his home in Penang.
The master shared something that changed Tan's entire perspective about Eczema. "Eczema is part of allergy," the Master said, "but allergy is not part of Eczema. You can't heal allergy but you can heal Eczema. Feeding your skin with excessive moisture won't work; you must terminate its thirstiness."
Tan says that while the Master is very traditional minded about his work, he liked Tan's marketing ideas for his unique nutritional skin-based nutritional product.
"My life was forever transformed," he says. "My goal is now to expand the marketing reach of his concept, especially to more Eczema sufferers in the U.S. and to find investors that can help me market it to the masses. Just as I am indebted to the master, I feel privileged to be the one to bring his genius to those who most need it."
