Dr. Tan was a Force of Qi that changed people. From patients in need, t­­o practitioners needing clarity in their medicine, his Qi made things better. Twelve years ago, after seeing Richard’s jaw-dropping, knee-slapping and mind-blowing lecture on the Balance Method in California, we brought him to Canada to speak at the Canadian Oriental Medical Symposium in Vancouver, BC in 2004. A tornado of a speaker and always on the move, he brought fireworks to our symposium in a way that no one else has. We are grateful for the opportunity to have shared time, space and teachings with him. His greatest glory will be the success of his teachings carried forward by his loving senior students.
