1) STATEMENT OF MISSION

      In response to the need of the people in Colorado, the nation, and the world, Ruseto College has been found in 1992, for the following purposes:

      1)      To provide students with professional education in Traditional Chinese Medicine including, but is not limited to, the knowledge of diagnoses and treatments in massage, Chinese natural medicines, acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping.

       2)      Also, to provide advanced correspondent program, Revolutionary Healthcare, for acupuncturists, physicians and nurses, and so on with excellent high-quality & low-cost techniques of healthcare, included Feng-Shui, Xin-Yi, Pain control, Aging control, Cure of Skin diseases, Treatment of Cancers, and so on, to help them achieve quick, effective and persistent results of treatments. 

      3)      To promote, encourage, and support the worldwide research and development of both the basic and the advanced Oriental Medicine.

      4)      The School believes that, “East or West, Cure is Best.” Whether a healthcare provider applies Eastern (or Oriental) Medicine or Western Medicine, cure is always the best. That’s why the School also provides students with some Western medical knowledge such as anatomy, physiology, immunology, pathology, and so on.  

      5)      Besides, the School believes that, “Medical Sense or Common Sense, Cure Makes Sense.” A cure in China could be a common sense, but it maybe still beyond the proof of modern medical science. Therefore the School encourages students not to use “tunnel-vision” to diagnose any patients.

      6)      The School cares about Medical-Dao, which including the patients’ human rights, such as “How to learn from the healthcare providers to be able to take care of themselves.” The more self-cure the people learn, the less doctor-care they need. We hope that our students will be excellent healthcare providers, as well as wonderful medical educators.  

      7)      The patients are the medical mainstream, and the healthcare providers have the obligation to help them achieve their goals. It is the patients who decide what they need from the healthcare providers, instead of depend on what the healthcare providers need from them.

      8)      However, our programs are designed for the students to treat people when they are sick, as well as to educate the public with preventive medicine. The School strongly believes that, “To go for medical trainings for years is one issue, and to be able to heal the patient quickly, easily, and cost less is the more important issue.”     

      In summary, the School strongly believes that, “East or West, Cure is Best.” and “Medical Sense or Common Sense, Cure Makes Sense.” Furthermore, the School’s another goal is --- Don’t let the patients become victims of any medical trainings and policies in U.S.A., but let them be the judges of the medical trainings and policies in our nation and around the world.

      Fortunately, in the past twenty-some years people have witnessed that the medical doctors are learning and practicing acupuncture, and in the near future they may have to learn natural medicines and massage, too. Why? If you enrolled in our program(s), you would be able to solve the puzzles. You would be able to know why “A cure in China could be a common sense, but it maybe still beyond the proof of modern medical science.”

 Medical Sense or Common Sense, Cure Makes Sense.   

2）Message From the President

      In the 1940s, I had witnessed that my parents and masters had cured or improved many illnesses and conditions, but those knowledge are still new to most Americans today. Why? The answer is -- most Americans, including the healthcare providers, do not aware of the true value of the Chinese Medical-Dao. The Chinese Medical-Dao included, but is not limited to, the following:

    1)      The medical mainstream is the patients, but not the doctors.  

    2)      The patients’ daily foods are useful medicines, as well as poisons.

    3)      Appropriate medical knowledge is the best tool for self-care.  

    4)      Every one has a natural healing power within his body.

    5)      The best way to heal a patient is to find out and follow his within natural healing power, instead of fighting against it.  

    6)      A healthcare provider should treat a patient holistically, rather than apply a single “tunnel vision” to diagnose and treat the symptoms of his disease or condition.

    7)      Comparing to drugs, natural medicines are much easier to be accepted properly by human body. However, it is the parents’ obligation to learn the advantages and the side effects of the foods, and pass it down to their children.   

    8)      When anyone is sick, one or more organs might need a break, such as “take a nap”, or even go for “hibernation” by itself. And, any inappropriate treatment could disturb the natural healing power within his body, and also caused severe damage as a result.

     In Ruseto College’s programs, we provide in-depth explanations of the Chinese Medical-Dao, from the Yin-Yang Theory, Five-Element Theory, etc. to Feng-Shui, Fortune-Telling, and the improvement  or even the cure of most diseases.

      I would like to encourage you to enroll in Ruseto College’s program(s) and learn how to properly take care of your own health, your family, and the public. For more information please refer to our websites, the www.ruseto.com, www.ruseto.us, and my personal publications, such as the series of Medical Revolution (1), (2), (3)….

Program  II:  Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

       Objectives: In China, in the past acupuncture is a traditional-form of surgery, ranged from acupuncture to removal of tumors and cancers. However, the Chinese people also knew how to use natural medicines to turn the tumors and cancers into pimples or boils, and let them pop out of their bodies without cutting the skin and muscles opened. Therefore, you may consider that modern acupuncture is a sort of “deep-acu-massage”, which works very well with herbal-chemical effects in healthcare.        On the contrary, you may consider that the modern acupuncture is an acu-surgery, which can heal almost all kinds of illnesses, but might hardly damage any body-tissues. Therefore, we encourage you to enroll in this program to be able to keep yourself in good health and to serve your community, lowering down everyone’s medical expenses.
