"Mr. Willow Glen" Cardale Evans

This is a blog by Amy Rueda from Authentic Skin. Amy was able to develop a close friendship with Cardale Evans and helped produce to the memorial video.

Dr. Rick Bernard— Director of the Center— began treating Cardale with the ancient Chinese Medicine of “Cupping” a year ago due to Cardale’s diagnosis with late, stage 4, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. We captured Cardale being treated with cupping on film in this video about the Center located on top of our homepage:

www.rickbernardacupuncture.com Cardale joked that being filmed shirtless on our video about the Center would drive all the ladies to sign up for treatments!

We measured Cardale’s oxygen prior as well as after the detoxifying treatment and it would improve 50%. He also was able to sleep comfortably laying down when usually on non-treatment days, he had to sleep sitting up. Cardale was also excited to take a break from his inhalers for several days following his cupping treatment. After he had exhausted all forms of Western Medicine, he found solace in this ancient treatment and sometimes would ask for two treatments in a week.

He was by far one of our most treasured clients and though he began treatment late in his diagnosis, he was able to light up our office and inspire us on many levels. Because Dr. Rick Bernard was so inspired medically by Cardale’s amazing response to cupping, Dr. Bernard actually treated him weekly for free in exchange for Cardale’s huge smile, generous laugh and huge hugs. Cardale’s living several years past his 6-month original diagnosis was a true testament to the power of positivity, the power of the mind over the body, and the power of the love he put out into his environment.

This video captures the love he reflected on several key members of our community (whom he worked with daily) in downtown Willow Glen, San Jose, California.

This memorial video (which he watched weeks before his passing) will air locally on Channel 15, Friday January 28th at 6:00 and again February 4th same time, same channel.

Were you touched by Cardale Evans and like to share how he inspired you? Have you seen the way one person can link several people through their power of positive energy and light? Please give us your feedback and comments and please pass this video along as part of Cardale Evan’s legacy.
