"Water is the driving force of all nature."
Leonardo da Vinci

Opening at The Valley Art in Tempe, AZ on February 22, 2008
More dates to follow...

This film is about water, the most amazing yet least studied substance. From times immemorial, scientists, philosophers and theologians tried to understand its explicit and implicit properties, which are phenomenal, beyond the common physical laws of nature.

Witness recent, breathtaking discoveries by researchers worldwide from Russia, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Israel, the USA, Britain, Austria, Japan, Argentina, China and Tibet.

The arguments expound upon unexpected and challenging assumptions enlightening many years of research to open humankind to new horizons, such as the applications of structured water in agriculture, or the use of water in treatment for the most serious diseases and more.

The Geography of the film spans the globe. The implications go beyond the solar system, suggesting that water has the ability to convey messages faster than light, perhaps linking water with the absolute. Water is so unique, and so profound, its miraculous properties are still awaiting to be discovered.

But another key branch of the Chinese healing tradition, Qigong (pronounced "chee gung"), an energy healing method widely respected and utilized within China, is just now becoming known in the West . The woman who has emerged as the foremost proponent of Qigong outside China is Dr. Effie Poy Yew Chow."

Healing Therapies 2006 at University of Vermont
Was the featured key presenter /speaker at the "UVM Healing Therapies 2006" at their first annual conference program at the prestigious University of Vermont (UVM) from July 17th to 23rd which included the special Chow Qigong Healing Weekend Event.  Hopefully, we will have an intensive 100 hour Level 1 training in the fall Sept. to Dec. 2006, establishing a team of Chow Qigong/TCM practitioners to go to Africa in early 2007 to volunteer aid in their most unfortunate state of health conditions.  We also would like to help wherever the hurricanes have left devastation. Anyone interested can

join us! Qigong and TCM is most appropriate because of it's efficiency, cost effectiveness, and ability to teach people self sufficiency so they can learn to help themselves and others, thus bringing brightness and hope to areas of bleakness and despair!

Dr. Chow Helping 2 Danish Young Fellow in Search of "Hope"- Filmed by Danish Broadcasting Company
Dr. Chow and friends just finished 3 days of filming with the Danish National Television who came here from Aug. 16th to 18th with two young fellows in their early twenties from Denmark who had conditions that were diagnosed by their doctors as hopeless with continued deterioration… One was a quadriplegic and wheelchair bound for four years and the other with severe Muscular Atrophy (M.A) from birth with weak voice sounds  - both were determined by their doctors in Denmark to be hopeless with no chance of any improvement.  So instead of "moping" at home, they planned a 5 week trip throughout USA from Florida to California in search for "Hope".  The Danish Broadcasting Company was intrigued with their fascinating plans and sent a crew of three to come with them to follow and film their entire trip!  We were the last stop in their journey.  Prior to coming to SF, they traveled through Florida, Atlanta, Texas, New Mexico, Los Angeles,  etc., though interesting for them, they did not have any physical improvements in their condition....all institutes/people were anticipating that in 10 years they might have something!  The 3 part film (half hour each) will be public in early 2007.

In the brief 3 days (averaging 5 hours per day of treatment) with Dr. Chow, she had some remarkable results with them...the quadriplegic accomplished 13+ new "first time activities" including regained grip and arm strength to pull a large person standing steady to off-balance, he could get onto the floor with only moderate help (usually lifted totally), with little help rolled 50+ times, could scoot around on the floor by himself, began to have leg and toe movements, etc...  And the fellow with M.A. accomplished 5 new first time activities including increased arm strength which allowed him to raise his arms straight up over his head, walked better than his original walking pattern and even danced around, gained total overall strength and stamina, and stronger voice sounds, etc.  Their film production will be shown publicly by the beginning of next year.  Their response to Chow Qigong and TCM in the three days was very exciting….helping them to dispel their doctors' devastating prognosis….giving them hope that they can indeed improve their overall health to the ultimate!!!

The 5^th International Conference on Qigong in Bangkok, Thailand
November 3 to 7, 2006, Gigi OH of TC Media and we are planning to go to Bangkok, Thailand for an International Conference on Qigong chaired by Dr. Lida FENG, our long-time friend...anyone and everyone is welcome to come with us!  We will come back in time for our Congress on Nov. 10 to 12 in Los Angeles!

Follow-up on Recommendations of the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy
The Leadership Group wish to follow-up the recommendations in the report of the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy (WHCCAMP) that had been sent to the President, Vice-President, the Congress, the Senate, and The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. It was reported that Senator Hillary Clinton speaking at a health forum is pursuing the idea of establishing a CAM Office in the government as our WHCCAMP report had strongly recommended! "In the '90s, I pushed for a CAM office within the NIH. I think we need to think about this again." –Hillary Clinton (Source: The Integrator Blog, July 14, 2006, John Weeks & Hillary Davis). Hopefully this may help in the process of things…
