Written by Tomo Tanikawa, the story of CHO-WA originally appeared in the US Weekly Journal as a three week part series that ran in the
health section weekly between Oct. 25 2005 and Nov. 14 2005. However since its first publication the paper was inundated with requests for
a reprint in its entirety. This Life changing product, CHO-WA has now been introduced to the United Kingdom so all the U.K population
can now benefit from this wonderful product.

I
SENSEI

Nobody knows his real age. Sensei (the healing master) has always just been there. Or at least thats what the
people of Kyushu , Japan believe. When Sachiko, an 87 year old woman healed by Sensei, was interviewed she told
the reporter that Sensei (pronounced sin say) had also healed her grandmother forty years ago. Asked if Sensei
was then a young man, Sachiko replied, he looked exactly the same as he looks now!
Estimates of Senseis age range from 75 to over 150 years. Some people believe he has been healing people for
centuries. Some actually believe he is immortal. Whatever his age, two facts are clear: Sensei has been healing
people for a very long time, and the miraculous concoctions that he uses to heal with have had profound effects on
even the most hopeless.
A typical example is Noriko who suffered from terrible health problems. For years she was unable to eat anything
but mild, bland rice porridge which she still had a hard time keeping down. Her stomach problems were
accompanied by intense joint pain, dizzy spells, insomnia, constant fatigue and bouts of depression, brought on
by her feelings of hopelessness. She always caught colds and flu that took months to depart her weak and frail
body.
Noriko was a city girl, born and raised in Tokyo . Like most Tokyo people, Noriko was westernised to the point
where she no longer believed in her countrys traditional remedies. Hence, Noriko had relied on ever increasing
doses of modern drugs, all of which only gave her occasional relief, some-times followed by severe side effects.
When her doctor told Noriko there was nothing more he could do for her she was devastated. But what he said
next floored her. He told her she should visit an old man who lived in a mountain village in Kyushu prefecture.
The old man was simply called Sensei.
 Noriko could hardly believe her ears! Had her doctor lost his mind? He couldnt heal her but instead was
sending her to see a hermit who probably didnt know the first thing about real medicine! Japan was filled with
so called healers who lived in the mountains! Educated people would never dream of actually using them in place
of a licensed doctor!
Just go, her doctor said. Youve got nothing to lose, and you might be pleasantly surprised. The doctor didnt
tell Noriko that he had personal knowledge of Senseis healing powers. Sensei had healed the doctors gravely ill
daughter after he and his colleagues had failed.
Noriko did indeed have nothing to lose. In fact she was desperate. She couldnt live another day in her miserable
condition. She reluctantly took the Shinkanzen (bullet train) that afternoon direct to Nagasaki . From there she
boarded a small train for the mountain village of Otamaru .
Her doctor had instructed her to, ask anyone in the village where to find Sensei. Youll have no problem finding
him. Upon arriving in Otamaru, she asked the train conductor at the station if he knew how to find Sensei. He
smiled and pointed to a mountain about two kilometres away and said, take the trail that goes to the top of the
mountain you will find Sensei there. He lives in a small ryokan (traditional house), Noriko enquired if she could
take a cab, but was told that she would have to walk. The road was too small for cars.
Noriko was tired and felt weak from her trip, but she had no choice. She began walking up the trail towards
Senseis house. It cut through a lush green forest, accented by elegant bamboo shoots, ferns and wild flowers.
Everywhere there were sounds of cicadas and birds. It as a warm pleasant evening, not humid as she feared. She
was struck by the beauty that surrounded her. The more she took in the scenery, the better she felt. Her
depression was lifting. When she arrived at the mountain top she actually felt elated.
Sensei was vigorously chopping wood in his garden. He greeted her without looking up, somehow aware of her
presence. Kon banwa (good evening), he said calmly, and then turned and looked directly at her.
Sensei had a gentle, kind face that gave the impression of deep wisdom and compassion. He was old but certainly
not feeble. His full head of hair was snow white. His clear almond eyes were lively, almost comical. He invited her
inside for a cool tea. Noriko talked to Sensei about her health problems while sipping an unusual but pleasant
tasting tea.
His only response was to ask if she would like to go outside and watch the moon rise above the forest. Its so
beautiful this time of the month. She paused, not answering, and then returned to her health problems. Sensei
listened carefully and then once again asked her to join him on the veranda t watch the moon. He got up d
walked outside. Noriko followed.
Sensei was right. The moon looked spectacular as it eased above the dark tree line. It was enormous. Soon she
forgot her health problems and was content just being in Senseis presence. When the time came to leave Sensei
handed her a small bag containing a fine brown powder. He instructed her to mix it in cool not warm
water and make a tea that she should drink every morning and every evening just before sleeping.
On the train ride back to Tokyo Noriko fell into a deep, relaxing sleep. The following week she did exactly as
Sensei instructed. By the end of the week she had more energy, and vitality than she had ever experienced in her
life. She could eat anything without a problem. She enjoyed full nights of blissful sleep. She was alive, finally really
alive. She would continue to visit Sensei.
II
DR. KUMATO

Dr Kumato, who was introduced to Sensei years ago by his most revered college teacher, had witnessed Sensei
heal countless individuals. In many cases these individuals would certainly labelled hopeless by modern doctors.
For more than thirty years, Dr Kumato had tried in vein to convince Sensei to reveal his amazing healing
formulas.
Dr Kumato was famous in his own right. Educated as a bio-chemist, he was the founder of Kumato Labs,
internationally renowned for bringing traditional Japanese remedies to the world. Dr Kumato believed deeply in
the union of science and nature. His genius lay in his ability to mass produce traditional remedies, using strict
pharmaceutical manufacturing standards without compromising the synergistic effects of the original formula.
Kumato Labs had built its great reputation by producing health products of impeccable quality. Bur Dr
Kumato knew his product line would never be complete until he had Senseis secret healing formulas. He
considered them to be the crown jewels of Japan s traditional healing remedies. Perhaps the greatest healing
formulas, not only in Japan , but in the entire world. Nothing he had ever seen produced by other health
companies approached the effectiveness of Senseis healing formulas. He was aware that Sensei was using many of
the same ingredients other traditional formulas contained, but Sensei had somehow discovered the Golden
combinations.
Every month Dr Kumato would visit Sensei in hopes of convincing him to finally reveal his precious healing
formulas. Sometimes he waited for hours to talk with Sensei, who was usually busy attending people in need. When
Sensei broke free he kindly listened to Dr Kumatos pleas, but
always gave the same answer: nature holds the secret, not I. It didnt matter how he asked the question or how
many times he asked. The answer was always the same.
Over the years Dr Kumato had all but accepted that Sensei would never reveal his secret healing formulas to
him. However, Dr Kumato had grown so fond of Sensei that he never missed his monthly trip to the mountains.
Just to see and talk to the people that Sensei healed was more than enough.
On one visit he met Yoshi who impressed Dr Kumato because of his boundless energy and vitality. When Yoshi
spoke about Sensei it was as if he were speaking about the Buddha himself. According to Yoshi, who was 97, he
made his first trip to visit Sensei when he was 86. Yoshi heard about Sensei from a friend whose sister had been
healed by Sensei. At that time Yoshi believed he would die soon but was not ready. Yoshi related how his life force
was nearly gone when he decided to make the arduous sixteen hundred kilometre journey by train from Hokkaido
to Kyushu . He didnt know if he would survive the train ride.
When he finally arrived at the base of the mountain he could no longer walk. He felt what little life force he had
leaving his body. He lost consciousness. Yoshi was not sure what happened next. When he awoke he was lying on
his back upon a futon in Senseis house. Sensei gave him a cool drink. It tasted different from anything he knew,
but it wasnt bad.
By the next day Yoshis life force was returning. Yoshi said he was given the same cool drink each day by
Sensei. Soon he noticed his shaky hands had steadied, and his energy was increasing. Substantially increasing!
So profound was his recovery that Yoshi volunteered to stay and work in what ever manner he could to help
Sensei. Apparently Sensei agreed, because when Dr Kumato talked to Yoshi, he had been living on the mountain
for eleven years. In no way was Yoshis story unique. It was rather typical.
Kiyoko, who wouldnt give her age to Dr Kumato, told him how she had been healed by Sensei of a chronic
condition of nerves. As terrible as her anxiety she almost never left her house. One morning the man who
delivered her groceries told her about Sensei, who had recently healed his aunt of a similar condition.
Kiyoko realised she lived only 30 kilometres from Sensei, but the thought of actually going out in public, riding
on a

train, seeing unfamiliar people, maybe forgetting something, or, heaven forbid, getting lost in a strange town, was
more than she could bear. No, she wouldnt go to see him. And who knows he probably couldnt heal her
anyway. And besides, none of the medicines her doctors gave her ever did any good.
Two days later, a woman showed up at her door. She was the grocery deliverymans aunt. She said she would
accompany Kiyoko on her visit to Sensei. They should leave right away. Before Kiyoko could object the woman
gently took her hand, shut the front door, and led her to the train station. Kiyoko was nearly in shock. Her heart
was racing, she could hardly breathe. But for some reason she held on to the womans hand and followed her. She
looked straight ahead while riding on the train, never venturing a glance at the many strangers.
Finally on their walk up the trail leading to Senseis house, Kiyoko began to relax, but not completely. It was
only after she finished the cool drink that Sensei gave her up on arriving that she completely relaxed.
Kiyoko told Dr Kumato that she stayed at Senseis house for three months. Tears ran down her cheeks as she
explained how Sensei had completely transformed her life.
Before her visit to Sensei, Kiyoko would awaken very late in the morning. She almost never exercised, fearing
both the outdoors and the possibility that she may injure herself during even the slightest physical exertion. Her
main activity was eating. She was considerably overweight, an unusual condition for a Japanese woman.
It was hard for Dr Kumato to imagine that this thin attractive woman talking confidently to him could have
ever been overweight or for that matter, insecure.
While staying with Sensei, Kiyoko began to awaken earlier. After one week she got up regularly at sunrise.
Kiyoko started each day with the same cool drink prepared by Sensei. Soon her ferocious appetite began to
subside. Her energy increased considerably. She found herself taking long walks in the forest, at first alone, and
then with other people who would drop by to see Sensei.
She was making friends for the first time in her life. Kiyoko discovered that she
adored the outdoors, but what she loved the most was talking o people. So much so, that Kiyoko later became
employed as a public speaking teacher in her home town, winning several awards for her activities. She was also
now the official spokeswoman for the (SPN) the local society for the preservation of nature.
Kiyoko made it a point to see Sensei every month, to walk in the forest make more new friends, and of course
to get a fresh supply of Senseis very special drink.
It was seeing healing miracles like Yoshi, Kiyoko and numerous others, that always made Dr Kumatos
journey to the mountain worth while, even if Sensei would never reveal his incredible formulas to him.
 Thus, Dr Kumato was utterly shocked on his three hundred and seventy second visit when, instead of giving his
usual reply to Dr Kumatos perfunctory request, Sensei said, what are you going to do with it?
For a moment Dr Kumato didnt know what Sensei meant or what to say. But he was acutely aware that this
was a profound moment. He paused and then said, I will try and help as many people as I can. Sensei gave no
reply. He simply walked to the back room of his house and then returned with a scroll. He invited Dr Kumato to
sit and enjoy a cup of green tea.

III
THE FORMULA
Sensei placed the scroll on the tatami mat next to the low tea table. He sat down, crossed his legs in the lotus
position, and began to tell a storya story Dr Kumato had waited for more than thirty years to hear:
My family has kept a secret since the reign of the tenth shogun. My direct ancestor was the shoguns personal
physician. He was entrusted with his health, but unlike physicians today, if the patient fell ill then the physician
was held responsible. So serious was the offence of allowing the shogun to fall ill that my grandfather would have
been ordered to perform Hari Kari (take his own life). Fortunately, for my grandfather, the shogun, who was
known as the tiger shogun, never became ill. He was famous in all of Japan for his robust health. He led his
samurai into battle when he was in his nineties! The tiger shogun was so healthy that he perished at over one
hundred years, not from bad health but from an accident while racing his horse!
All the physicians at that time knew of the
power of nature to provide all that was necessary to stay healthy. The great natural healing medicines of Japan
come from the work of our intrepid ancestors. What distinguished my ancestor from all the other physicians was
his discovery of the Golden combination, a precise formulation of natures gifts, so powerful at increasing Ki
(life force) that he was forced to sign an oath ensuring that he would never reveal it.
My ancestor would only be allowed to pass the formulation to the shoguns direct heir. The shogun knew that if
a rival got hold of this mighty formula, he too would possess limitless health, something no shogun would want of
his rival.
The shoguns have been gone for a long time, but my family has always kept the golden combination a secret.
Over the years the decision was made to use the formula to help ordinary people, but my family has never revealed
the secret. To do so they thought would dishonour their ancestor. I have thought about this for a very long time. I
have seen the power of the formula perform incredible wonders, but I could not bring myself to reveal the formula
until now.
I have watched you for a long time. I know you are a god man. I also know the time has now come for my
ancestors formula to help the people of the world. We Japanese have a hard time thinking about anybody but
Japanese. For my entire life I have thought it was enough just to help people who found their way to my door. But
the world has changed and so have I.
Sensei then proceeded to slowly unroll the scroll. The calligraphy was absolutely exquisite. The writing began
with a poem:

The great shogun thrives in all seasons

He overcomes by not opposing
He rules without ruling
He prospers when his subjects prosper
Harmony is his strength

There followed a shocking discovery. Instead of a description of the numerous healing formulas Dr Kumato had
thought Sensei was using, there was only one formula, entitled CHO-WA (Harmony).
Thats what Sensei meant when he said, what are you going to do with it? There was only one formula,
CHO-WA.
As far as Dr Kumato could tell, he was familiar with all the listed ingredients. However, he had never seen them
combined in this extraordinary manner. A feeling of warmth rushed through his body as he suddenly realised that
he was the first person outside Senseis family, the first person for more than eight hundred years to have the
privilege of viewing the golden combination. Sensei had indeed revealed a profound secret.
Dr Kumato knew he would have to devote a great deal of time and money to develop a proper method to
manufacture CHO-WA in keeping with the traditional way of producing this amazing healing tonic. He must
duplicate the formula precisely or it could definitely diminish its mighty power. He wanted to make sure he got it
absolutely right.
He reasoned that the only way he could be certain that he would be faithful in the duplication process was to
produce CHO-WA and then bring it to Sensei for testing. Sensei would immediately know if he had got it right.
Dr Kumato discussed his plan with Sensei who laughed and said, Its entrusted to you now my friend.
For the next twenty three months Dr Kumato made his usual monthly trips to see Sensei. Each version of
CHO-WA that he brought for Senseis approval was flatly rejected. When Dr Kumato asked him what was wrong
Senseis reply was less than helpful.
If you would have given this to the shogun he would have killed you himself! Sensei would then abruptly
change the subject to some aspect of nature that he expressed as he put it, perfect harmony.
Nearly two years had passed since receiving the great CHO-WA formula and Dr Kumato now felt he may
never get it right. Could Sensei just be toying with him? Maybe Sensei had never really intended for Dr Kumato to
have his secret healing formula.
He tried everything. He had followed the precise instructions in preparing each ingredient. Every one of his
companys scientists had reviewed the formula and assisted in its preparation, following the instructions to the
letter. Each time they reformulated they double checked their procedures, varying only what they thought might
be the problem. Each time they failed.
They ran analysis of the different herbs to make sure they were the best quality and the highest potency. They
strained the herbs using traditional strainers, not commercial extractors. The even boiled the water in traditional
pots, going as far as to use antique pots that would have been used in the time of the tenth shogun. Nothing worked.
Finally, they had exhausted all possible variations and means to duplicate CHO-WA. It was with a deep feeling
of resignation that Dr Kumato visited Sensei for what Dr Kumato thought would be his last chance of approval
from Sensei.
The CHO-WA formula that he brought to Sensei was almost identical to every other version he had brought to
him. After all, the instructions were quite clear about how to prepare the formula. The changes that had been
made on each new try were minute, and were limited to improving straining techniques, or eliminating small
impurities in individual herbs.
Dr Kumato took the last train out of Tokyo and arrived quite late in Otamaru. The station was closed. He had
fallen asleep on the train and missed his dinner. Nothing was open in town. He was thirsty and hungry and now
had to walk almost two miles up a steep trail to Senseis house. He had no choice.
It was a very humid night. So warm that even the night birds were silent. As he walked along the trail he began
to feel increasingly weak. He must have something to drink. It was almost without thinking that he opened the
glass jar holding the new version of CHO-WA and took a sip. After all, it was only a sip and there was plenty for
Sensei to try.
He then realised that he had never actually tasted the formula. He had relied on Sensei to do the testing. It
actually tasted quite pleasant. He took another sip and continued walking along the moon lit trail. When he
arrived at Senseis house he was no longer tired.
Sensei was on his porch waiting for him as usual, aware of him coming even though he had not spoken to him
since his last visit.
I see youve got it right
Got what right, Dr Kumato asked confused.
CHO-WA! Sensei exclaimed. Youve always had it right. You simply needed to believe in it enough to try it
yourself! The
Instructions are clear. I have no power to give it. The power is in the formula. In order for you to understand the
formula you have to make it part of yourself. I see that you have done so!
Dr Kumato felt at once relieved, elated, and ridiculous. Of course Sensei was right. The instructions were very
clear. The one thing he had failed to do was actually try the formula on himself.
Had he done the obvious he would have known that the formula was right. His energy was soaring. He was
neither thirsty nor hungry. He seemed to see better, hear better, smell better. It was as if something had been lifted
from his senses. He had a deep, incredibly deep sense of well being. He was in perfect harmony with his
surroundings. Yes, indeed, this was CHO-WA.
From that day forward Dr Kumato drank CHO-WA every morning upon awakening.
Dr Kumato, now 75, had always considered himself extremely healthy. He exercised regularly and ate only
healthy foods. Moreover, he had made it his lifes mission to develop Japan s finest health products which he used
regularly. But still, when he began taking CHO-WA he was literally astonished.
His energy had increased to the point where he required very little sleep. His memory both short term and long
term seemed to improve. It was like he had been given a new brain. He hadnt expected this. Thought processing
was definitely different. He seemed to be able to access memories that were much more vivid. Colours, sounds,
tastes, emotions, came rushing forth every time he recalled a past incident. Distant or recent, it didnt matter.
He was connected to the world as never before. His balance was even better. Not that it was bad before. But
now he felt like running down narrow stairways rather than walking. In short he felt younger, much younger in all
areas, especially one in particular, sex!
Dr Kumato had been responsible for developing for commercial use many traditional libido enhancers.
CHO-WA was in a category by itself. After taking CHO-WA he really contemplated if he should continue. He
hadnt experienced constant urges at this level since he was a teenager. Indeed he couldnt recall if he ever had
such an overwhelming sex drive.
Dr Kumato was a life long student of Zen Buddhism and because of this study he was fortunately able to focus
his reproductive energies elsewhere. Although he had to admit it was a pleasant feeling to feel so young in all
aspects, what was most peculiar was the way younger women seemed to be attracted to him at his present age. The
reproductive energy that he was experiencing on a daily basis must have been seen and felt by the opposite sex at
some level.
It wasnt long before the employees of Kumato Labs noticed the change in their boss. Makoto, the
manufacturing supervisor was the first employee to begin taking CHO-WA. The results were immediate and
equally profound. Soon all the employees were taking CHO-WA daily. This was a problem.
CHO-WA was not yet on line for commercial levels of manufacture. It was still being produced in small
quantities. Before full commercial manufacturing could begin, more analytical studies were necessary. The
problem was that the employees were consuming CHO-WA faster than it could be made for the studies. There
simply wasnt enough to go round.
Finally Dr Kumato put his foot down and forbade any employee from taking CHO-WA until all analytical
studies had been completed. His employees in turn would work at a feverish level to prepare CHO-WA for final
approval and subsequent full commercial production.
Dr Kumatos intense analytical studies yielded some astounding findings. At the core of the CHO-WA formula
were native Japanese mushroom extractions. Scientists have long understood certain mushrooms rich in poly
saccharides are capable of activating key components of your immune system, namely macrophages which are
considered your first line of defence against invaders. Kumato Labs discovered that CHO-WA golden
combination had extraordinary immune enhancing effects. CHO-WA was literally an immune supercharger.
Science had already established that the additional herbal ingredients found in CHO-WA were highly active,
but never to the degree that Dr Kumato verified when they were combined as instructed by the CHO-WA formula.
The synergistic effects were truly profound.
The studies confirmed that CHO-WA, the great ancient formula, the golden combination that was so jealously
guarded by the tiger shogun, was indeed something to be cherished. Yes, the individual ingredients in CHO-WA
were all known by Dr Kumato and yes, they all had substantial health benefits, but not anything like what he was
now observing on virtually everyone who tried CHO-WA.
Yoko was the mother of Nobu, the head accountant for Kumato Labs. She had been selected to try CHO-WA
not because she was suffering from a particular health problem, but because she was suffering from the most
common problem people have as they grow older, an ever increasing malaise, a loss of vitality and eagerness. She
was ninety one.
One morning two weeks later, the accountant walked in to Dr Kumatos office and told him that his mother
was better. Much better. Whats more she had returned to her lifes great passion, the art of calligraphy.
Apparently, ten years ago Yoko was forced to abandon her beloved art because her hands were no longer steady
enough. Plus, her ability to concentrate, the essence of the art, was waning.
Now, suddenly she had resumed her art! Her hands were steady. Miraculously, she could concentrate at the
level her art required. Yoko was overjoyed. She was completely transformed. It had to be because of CHO-WA!
The accountant related how he had thought his mothers melancholy came simply from her old age. He hadnt
appreciated what an incredible loss it must have been for his mother when she was forced to abandon her art. She
had never once complained. Seeing how happy she now was made him realise why she really had been so unhappy.
CHO-WA had changed both their lives!
Dr Kumato leaned back in his chair and reflected on the great good that CHO-WA had accomplished over
the centuries. He thought of all the people he would never know, all the people that CHO-WA through Sensei had
helped. To experience limitless health, to discover the beauty and joy of life, the art of living, the passion for
expression in whatever you do, that was CHO-WA. That was perfect harmony. That was the essence of Japan .
How he hoped he could carry on Senseis valuable work. How he
hoped he could bring CHO-WA to the world.

EPILOGUE

Dr Kumato did indeed realise his dreams. After extensive testing Dr Kumato began manufacturing CHO-WA for
commercial use. With no advertising, word spread. In little time CHO-WA was his most popular formulation,
dwarfing the sales of his other products. From a business standpoint this was both good and bad. Sales of
CHO-WA sky rocketed, but sales of his other products dropped off as customers began to realise that all that was
necessary for greater health was CHO-WA.
It is said that on one of Dr Kumartos monthly trips to visit Sensei, he told him about the worldwide success of
CHO-WA. He told him that it was even sold in the U.S.A and that the American people loved CHO-WA. Sensei as
usual said nothing. But Dr Kumato did notice what he thought was a faint smile!
