"I wanted to let everyone know how much Dr. Vance Inouye has helped me. I lost weight and got my body back...the way... it looked before I gained weight from a medication.

Years ago I gained 35 pounds. No matter what I tried, I could not take off the weight; and I was so frustrated.

By trade, I am a Dance Instructor/Performer. Having a healthy physique is very important in my line of work.

Dr. Vance Inouye spoke to me of a weight loss program that could help me shed the pounds and feel better.  I started on his plan; and in what seemed to me to be no time at all, I was lost weight I previously couldn't lose before.

In the past, I tried so many ineffective programs, but none of the prorams worked for my body. Now, thanks to Dr. Inouye's health protocol and weight loss system, I have a healthy body again.

I am so happy, and I feel great!  Every day, I thank God I listened to Dr. Inouye. He helped me regain my healthy physique and restored my life as a dancer.

Thank You, Vance"

"Years ago, I found myself suddenly feeling exhausted and unable to function properly on a day to day basis. At first, I assumed that I was simply overworking myself with work, volunteering, and family. However, as time went on, I found that even some of the simplest of tasks seemed difficult to focus on mentally for a long time, and I would suddenly feel as if I needed a nap. I discounted it as nothing. After all, I appeared healthy and fit. I ate properly and exercised every day; and I was young.

About a month later, while in a staff meeting, I started to notice that my fingers, toes, and nose were all kind of cold. After a few minutes, I grew dizzy and broke out in a sweat; and eventually, I had to lie down until the dizziness subsided. Over the course of the next few weeks, the vertigo continued and the fatigue increased. My general practitioner and specialists to whom he referred me couldn't figure out the symptoms and test after test verified that my hormone levels were right in the normal range and that I had no masses or obvious maladies to explain my symptoms. Yet, my symptoms persisted and worsened.

Shortly thereafter, while working out, my entire back seized up; and I was in such terrible pain that I was unable to walk to my car. Tests, X-rays, and examinations only revealed some minor disc bulging but no reason for being unable to stand upright and walk for more than a week and certainly no further explanations came to help understand the source of all the other symptoms.

When the lack of functionality and the pain became too frequent and unbearable, I sought out help outside of the standard Western Practice. Dr. Inouye and his assistant spent hours with me questioning me at intake and had me complete a wellness questionnaire to discover the source of my symptoms. After reviewing my case, Doctor Inouye conducted some additional salivary testing to determine my hormone production at different times of the night and day and ordered blood work to confirm his findings. He started me on a protocol of spinal adjustment, supplements, and a digestive aid to help me get better nutrition.

Within months, my energy levels were climbing well above normal; and now, I'm a strong, productive, and focused man!"

"I am a 39 year old extremely active female. My diet and workout regime is and has always been my top priority. Last May, for unknown reasons, I suddenly, figuratively, hit the wall. I found myself needing much more sleep and having much less stamina than usual. I would push myself to do my 6 - 8 mile runs and my 30 - 40 mile cycling thinking that my fatigued condition would eventually pass, only to find that I needed 2 - 3 days to recover from my workouts.

I was in what seemed like a never ending downward spiral and went to visit many doctors who would perform various tests that never turned up anything abnormal. I was continually told that everything was ok and that I was in good health. I knew, however, that I wasn't. I needed someone to listen me. I then thought of Dr. Inouye with whom I had worked with about 9 months prior until my yoga and massage business took me in another direction.

I was so desperate that one day I broke down and contacted him at home to ask if he would help me. Being the wonderful soul that he is, he unhesitatingly agreed.

Only two weeks later, I began to notice a huge improvement. Four weeks into Dr. Inouye's prescribed program, I began to feel my stamina return, my head felt clear again and my social life was alive again. It was a very far cry from barely being able to get through my workday.

My whole life has turned around since then. I don't know that I can express on paper how much it means to me to experience the revived aliveness in my life. I owe it all to the man that I placed my complete trust in. My deepest gratitude and appreciation goes to Dr. Inouye. He took the time to listen."

"After nine months of "conventional" doctoring (pain pills, CAT scans, MRI's) for an injured left shoulder, I was offered surgery as my final solution; even though the medical doctors never actually determined what the problem was. At this time (with my arm in a sling) I enrolled in a class taught by Dr. Inouye and quickly decided that I needed to consider "alternative" treatment. With his expertise, I was completely pain-free in less than a month and without ever seeing the inside of an operating room.

Since that time, he has balanced my hormones, helped me overcome stress related problems, gotten me on a workable weight-loss program and has just completed treatment on my right elbow for tendonitis caused by repetitive movement.

Two years ago I would never have believed that such remarkable results were possible. I feel better and have more energy today than I have in twenty years and for this I am forever grateful to Dr. Vance Inouye. "

"Prior to consulting with Dr. Inouye, I had seen various medical doctors who, after much testing, had diagnosed me with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome. During these years, I was chronically depressed, fatigued and in extreme pain. The doctors had placed me on several drugs that soon began to cause numerous side effects. That is when I decided to seek alternative care.

After consulting with Dr. Inouye, he placed me on a regimen of nutritional and herbal supplementation, a diet designed for my condition, and exercise. In the process, I found Dr. Inouye to be a kind, caring and compassionate person; totally dedicated to finding the root cause of the problem. This is unlike the other doctors that I had seen who saw me for a few minutes and simply attempted to mask the symptoms with drugs and never got rid of the problem.

Thanks to Dr. Inouye, I am happy to say that I am feeling healthy and vibrant today with little or no symptoms that I had originally consulted him for."

Dear Dr. Inouye,

When I came to you in March of 2003, I was exasperated. I have suffered with fibromyalgia and fatigue among other maladies since childhood. I have "been there, done that" when it comes to methods of relief and recovery for these conditions.

It was not until I had an intelligent, informed conversation with you that I finally realized how uncomplicated it is to simply surrender to what is and move through it; knowing, with confidence, that I am empowered to do something about it, which I have.

I have lost twenty-five pounds in 10 weeks! I sleep and breathe better, I am thinking more clearly and most importantly, I am inspired to raise the bar in all that I do. As I go through each day, your influence resonates within my well-being. I thank you!

It has been quite an honor to meet and learn from such a progressive healer as Dr. Inouye. It is wonderful and encouraging to meet such an authentic teacher/student. His enthusiasm is evident in his teachings, his Dojo, and his generous spirit. In all of us there is a voice that is not bound by the ordinary or the normal. This voice can guide us to our destiny. Heaven and Earth Institute is a place where one can "attune" to this inner voice. The energy and guidance one receives here can allow us to reconnect to the whole of our being. This in turn will allow us to go to places we have only dreamed of. Whether it's through Tenchi, dance, music, nature, ritual, or learning the mysteries of the desert, it is essential that we become the warriors of the spirit that we were intended to be.

I was first introduced to Dr. Inouye when began to study the martial arts. I quickly learned that he knew more about health and wellness than most health “experts.” I say that because I have worked as a Master Fitness Trainer in the military, I was on the Army Triathlon team and I have worked with biochemists and dietitians to optimize one’s diet.

After speaking with Dr. Inouye about my diet and exercise routine, he put together a plan for me that provided results I had not been able to achieve before. My LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides dropped and my HKL (good) cholesterol increased. I put on over 10 pounds of muscle and kept a lean fat mass.

At one extreme you have an MD that scoffs at anything considered “complement arty and alternative” treatments. This is someone who has been extensively educated and trained in evidence based medicine. The “gold standard” in this system of medical research is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

At the other extreme you can have someone that has not been formally educated or trained at an accredited institution of higher learning, does not utilize evidence=based medicine, uses “magic” lotions, potions, crystals and herbs and thinks that mainstream medicine inclusive of surgery and pharmaceuticals is evil.

There is always a little bit of truth in both extremes, whether you are talking healthcare, politics or finances. A good physician is knowledgeable about both ends of the healthcare spectrum and has first-hand experience to integrate the best of both worlds. Additionally, he/she will utilize the best resources that technology has to offer as well as to tap into the wisdom of ancient healing systems the world over. This is where Dr. Inouye enters.

I am impressed with how much Dr. Inouye understands about clinical nutrition and biochemistry, more so than any MD or DO is aware of. He has the knowledge and tools to help a peak performer go to the next level or someone that has hit an impasse in their baseline health and well-being. As a medical student at a conventional medical school in Chicago, I know that most physicians are trained to alleviate acute symptoms rather than to treat the whole person; the body, mind and spirit. Dr. Inouye has the training, knowledge and insight to help you to achieve an increased level of health wherever the individual is in the spectrum of health. He takes a balanced approach to one’s health care, never hesitating to work jointly with an MD, DO, DC, etc.

I hope that be able to work with Dr. Inouye in the future once I am in practice as I know my future patients will greatly benefit by what Dr. Inouye can offer.
