Case #1: 80 years young.
STROKE and left-side paralysis
80 year young lady, from Thailand,
visiting her families for only a month and in her second week here, had
a stroke rendering her total left sided paralysis. Chow Qigong
got her turning, rolling (50 times), sitting straight without propping,
and then walking in just three hours in the one day!!! Her
doctor in the rehab hospital (doctor of this family for over 30 years!)
was most cooperative to whatever I needed to do with the client. And he
even interrupted her therapy at one point when we got her legs moving,
to have me work on his thumb which had been injured and very painful
for two years....!!!!! Funny!!! Chow Qigong successfully relieved his
pain totally in 10 minutes and he could move thumb well again. Then I
resumed therapy with his patient! The son-in-law then also interrupted,
said he had the same problem as their doctor and would I work with
it....within 10 minutes of Chow Qigong, his condition was also relieved.
Case
#2: 9 months old.
Semi-lobar Holoprosencephaly
Dr.
chow encountered a 9 month old beautiful baby boy diagnosed as
Semi-lobar Holoprosencephaly. (Children with this diagnosis are not
expected to develop much at all and most are expected to die within a
year. Even if they do not die they are not expected to have much
cognitive awareness, to walk, talk, or develop any form of meaningful
interactions.) He was not sitting nor walking nor holding his head up,
legs stiff and unbending, was a potential to have an inguinal operation
... There is no need now for the operation! In ten minutes got him
standing briefly, opened his legs to normal movement and could hold his
head up for periods of time, all for the first time in his
life.....mother (in her 20's) and grandmother crying from sheer
happiness. We all were too! She reports that he is still progressing...
.able to better hold up his head, standing better, bending his legs
well, and have begun also to sit up for a bit of time too now.
Case
#3: ~60 years young.
Severe Pain
Woman
in her 60's from Chicago had two hip replacements one year ago but
still had severe pain and limping with cane. (The first operation was a
medical error!) Gave Chow Qigong for 10 minutes...walked straight
without her cane, pain free and said her legs and body felt so light
that she felt like running so we "glided" as we ran! She was exuberant!
Case
#4: 50 years young.
Neck, back, arm, knee pain
Young
50 years of age beautiful Thai woman (professional gambling Champion
now for the past five years, having retired from her profession in
business administration), had severe neck, back, and arm pain, and
knees for approximately 5 years. Singly raised her grown son. Her
shoulders were slightly but visibly slumped over. She had difficulty
turning her head with obvious pained expressions on her face upon
moving any part of her body. With one hour of Chow Qigong, her posture
straightened and breath was deeper, she was totally pain free, could
move and dance freely, walk like dancing, and did the half split. She
laughed heartily and said that she had not laughed in years nor even
smiled for a long time. She did not like gambling but had found it an
easy way to make money (because she was excellent with figures) as a
hobby. Discussed other potential rewarding hobbies and directions in
life...suggested dancing competitions because she loved to dance. She
is seriously considering the transition.
Case
#5:
Improve Energy
Young
woman L., from Bangkok, Thailand had serious jet-lag, could not sleep
nor eat because of nausea and very low energy..sat together at lunch
and instantly helped her with Qigong....she ate all her lunch and was
so bubbly with energy! Then she went to the hotel hairdresser who was
very depressed and tired and was going to close shop....instantly L
showed her what Chow Qigong could do and right away L helped the
hairdresser feel very good, and then proceeded to do a great job on L's
hair. L that evening danced a blue streak with all of us until almost
mid-night to a nine piece live band! She has expressed interest in
setting up some Chow Qigong programs and Center in Bangkok.
Case
#6:
Severe Pain
Woman
70 years young woman had two hip replacements three years ago (first
one was also a medical error!), then had a Knee replacement one year
ago (also had medical mishap). For over three years she had severe
pain, limping heavily and heavily dependent on a cane. Her doctor told
her that she will never ever climb stairs again and should not even
try. After 20 minutes of Chow Qigong with her, she was totally pain
free, walked with only a very slight limp with no cane and we proceeded
to gently and successfully climb a flight of stairs of twenty steps!
Two days later she visited her grand-daughter in Paris, France for
three weeks and had a great visit.

Studies:
Case #1: Bill G., 82 years young.
3 MASSIVE STROKES and one seizure with
severe brain damage and comatosed
In February 2003, I was invited by
Tom, the son of Bill, with cooperation of the Indianapolis University
Medical Center which has one of the top neurology divisions in the
country. We had full cooperation of the medical staff and it
was a joy to work with them. The following is what transpired.
February 1, 2003 - Chinese New Year
of the Ram and the day of Columbus Shuttle Disaster. Bill had
3 massive strokes and 1 seizure resulting in massive brain damage of
parietal, temporal and cerebral, comatose, no speech, no response to
light, speech, nor
other stimuli. Involuntary movement
of limbs. On intravenous and gastric feeding, catheter, and had
involuntary bowel movement. Had atrial fibrillation, elevated
temperature, and left hemiplegia. Had CAT scan, MRI.
With all tests, physician's
prognosis was that it was likely that he would never ever walk again,
nor hear, see or talk properly nor ever eat by mouth.
February 12, 2003 - Began Chow
Medical Qigong at the Indianapolis University Medical Center. 1st
therapy session with Chow Medical Qigong Bill regained full cognizance
- upon request and slight assistance, turned head, moved arms and legs
6 times each. Sat in high fowler's position with eyes opened
and smiling.
Feb. 13. 2nd therapy
session - transferred with light assistance to chair for one hour
Feb. 14. 3rd therapy
session - walked 18 feet with light assistance
Feb. 15. 4th therapy
session - walked 120 feet with almost no assistance
Feb. 16 - 19. Continued
progress with fine motor skills, catheter removed, to toilet, writing
though not clearly legible, reading the newspaper, magazines on
occasions, walked 400 feet, increasing skills of ADL e.g. brushing
teeth with guidance, puts on own glasses, uses kleenix to wipe mouth,
etc..
Feb. 21. He was
transferred to a Nursing Rehabilitation Home.
3rd week Found it was more
advantageous for his progress by going home, to restaurant, shopping,
etc. Secured doctor's order for home visitation and outings
Began sipping fluid and taking bits
of food. Socializing with family, other residents.
5th week Ate first pureed
lunch! But he was still officially on NPO.
The staff at both the University
Medical Center and the Nursing Rehabilitation Home were extremely
cooperative with prescribing what we requested for expediting his
recovery even though it was a highly unusual circumstance for them. The
physicians were using terms in their rounds with their residents and
interns such words as "striking", remarkable", "unbelievable" progress
since Chow Qigong therapy!
I thank them all for their
cooperation and courage to step out of their usual "box".

How can Goodness come out of the
events of September 11, 2001
How We Can Be At Peace:
I think we as a nation have much work to do to be closer to God, not in
a Biblical sense, but in a spiritual sense. We are all too busy, too
caught up to listen to our inner selves. This is where all the inner
power lies.
It lies within us. It is so
important to listen to our inner power and strength.
This is magnificent, this power and strength is the most advanced way
of knowing God.
Instead, we look outward for answers. Don't we know? Haven't we learned
that the right thinking... and the right answers come from our own
inner power?
So the events of this tragedy can
be avoided if we as a people, as a collective conscience learn to
meditate, be in nature, and pray. Pray for love and divinity...no
matter who is our metaphorical God. This is my almighty
wish! Love from Nicholas.

Rare Beauty
I saw a rare beauty called
a tree,
It enveloped me.
I think it is divine.
I wish I could spend more time.
It is not always going to be there.
This is why I want to be with it
all that I can.
A tree of such rare beauty makes me
want to be a magician who
can grant a final wish.
Once who can grant me a departure
to the Land of Oz.
There, trees are full of monkeys and beauty.
There, monkeys become mentors to the trees.
I believe I will become a monkey.

Case
#3: Hope S., 82 years young.
FIBROSARCOMA, GRADE II, 23 years survivor.
Hope was lucky to be alive after
emergency surgery. A large cancer had caused a perforation of
her small intestine. Facing certain death, she applied healing
methods of The Chow System, and is still alive and free of cancer
twenty-three years later at 82 years of age.
Hope was sixty-two when she nearly
died in 1981. The first sign of trouble was the sudden onset
of abdominal pain and fever. At the time she was working in a
small village in the Northwest Territories of
Canada. Immediate surgery found a large cancer measuring eight
inches in diameter in its largest area. Bowel contents were
oozing into the abdominal cavity causing a life threatening infection
(peritonitis).
Surgical removal was impossible
because of the extent of the cancer. The bowel leak was
sealed, drains placed, the abdomen closed, and Hope was given huge
doses of antibiotics. The diagnosis was fibrosarcoma (Grade
II), a form of cancer generally treated with irradiation, but
unresponsive to other treatments.
After recuperating for a month,
Hope was told she was going to die; she would be lucky if she lived two
more years. She was not a candidate for irradiation therapy
because of the location of the cancer. In desperation, her
doctors recommended a trial of chemotherapy, but told her in advance it
probably wouldn't work. Hope started the toxic treatment and
experienced the usual side effects of nausea, vomiting, weight loss,
and hair loss. Periodic CAT scans were not
encouraging. After five months of chemotherapy her oncologist
wrote in her medical record, "I don't believe chemotherapy will help
this lady," and the treatment was stopped.
Hope always had been receptive to
alternative approaches. At this point two friends who had
taken a 100 hour course from Dr. Chow encouraged her to practice qi
balancing exercises centered around Chow Qigong. Hope (her
real name and a good name for this story) was looking for something
like this to come along, and was receptive. There were many
more things she wanted to do in her life, and she didn't want a "little
cancer problem" to upset her plans. Hope was a very
positive-minded person with a good sense of humor.
She practiced Chow Qigong
diligently which included other measures such as diet, meditation, etc.
and her miracle began to happen. When she began Qigong her
abdomen was so swollen with cancer she looked six months
pregnant. Over the next four months her abdomen shrank, CAT
scans showed a steady reduction in the size of the cancer, and she
began to feel like life might be worth living again.
At this point her friends asked
what she would like to do more than anything else. She said
she wanted to visit with friends at her alma mater in Berkeley, and on
the East coast, John Hopkins University. Not long before, she
thought she would never be able to see her old friends
again. She took the trip, knowing it would be therapeutic.
When Hope returned to the clinic
for a follow up exam (four months after beginning routines of The Chow
System), a CAT scan showed that the original cancer mass had
disappeared, but a suspicious mass remained in the left
kidney. The kidney was removed surgically, but no evidence of
cancer was found.
Hope still had little energy, and
was fearful the cancer would return. In October, 1982, she
began Dr. Chow's intensive training course to perfect her energy
balancing practices, and much more. Classes were spread out
over several months, but at the end she felt so much better she was
able to go back to work full time.
Twenty three years have now passed
since Hope's recovery. She is cancer free and enjoying good
health. In contrast to most people who are looking for a quick
fix for their health problems, she faithfully practices the Chow Qigong
principles and exercises that cured her and continue to keep her
healthy. She is well aware that she needs to do so to keep the
cancer from returning.
At 82, she is very active, owns and
runs a bed and breakfast place, a small apple orchard producing apple
cider and dried apple, and traveling over the world.
Case
#4: Bill T., 62 years young.
DYSTONICCHOREA, wheelchair dependancy for 12 years, stroke May
2002 prognosis, never walk again.
A male client from the Veteran's
Adminstration (VA), wheelchair dependent for 12 years, a hospital
administrator for 27 years, Vietnam shell shocked...result of
experimental medication developed severe dystonicchorea symptoms, eg.
non-stop constant motion of arms and body severely since
1992. He had a brain operation May, 2002 which caused a stroke
and total dependency upon the wheelchair. Two weeks before he
came to the 5th World Congress on Qigong,
November 2002, his doctor and physiotherapist told him he would never
walk again and ordered a power wheelchair for him. At the
Congress, he and his caretaker from the VA came to Chow Qigong workshop
on Sunday....3 minutes of Chow Qigong he sat very still relatively free
of the dystonicchorea symptoms and after 8 minutes of Chow Qigong he
got up, walked and encircled me in his arms and danced me around, then
walked the perimeters of the large room. He also walked for
the first time up the steps onto the stage, after the presentation he
got up and again danced me on the stage laughing heartily!!!!
You can imagine the reaction from the audience! There were
tears, cheering and applause. Subsequently I had him get down
by himself to the floor from the wheelchair, do some movement and
rolling, and then got up by himself back into the
wheelchair. Since that Sunday he continues to be
mobile. We have a short video on this if you wish to see it.
Bill T. at the 5th
World Congress on Qigong (November, 2002) Testimony –
Speech delivered by David as seen
in the videotape.
I don't know if I can say anything
more than what you just saw right there. (as Bill walked up
the 5 steps to the stage!)
1963 left the military for chronic
depression and was given an experimental drug.
1982 he stopped taking it and was
suffering from dystonicchorea. A debilitating disease that
causes involuntary reflexive movement. In 1992 his symptoms
became full blown requiring full medical care, full treatment, full
home-care. February, 2002, Bill received from the San
Francisco VA hospital a series of surgeries called "deep brain
implant". What they did was insert two electronic instruments
in his brain and two power packs one side of his chest to remove the
involuntary movement so he can sit in his chair. In second
operation they clipped a blood vessel in his brain and he stroked
out.
In May of 2002, he had no movement,
no feeling on his complete right side and he was "aphasic". In
June 2002, we sent him to Palo Alto Brain Damage Treatment Center where
he came back not quite how he was before his physical
therapy. Two weeks at his physical therapy appointment his
physical therapist said 'Bill we're gonna have to put you in a powered
wheelchair, you'll never walk again." It was hard for me to
take, Bill's a friend of mine, I saw him regularly at the hospital but
for Bill it was a crushing blow. About a week ago I was given
an invitation to this Congress and I am a disabled veteran from Desert
Storm and I wanted to come for my own benefit but I thought (Bingkun
Hu, Dr. Hu over there who was the one that got me started on Qigong
about 6 years ago) maybe this can help Bill. Well , Bill came
in yesterday and spent about 3 minutes with Dr. Chow and for the first
time since I've known him, which is 1998/1997, he sat completely
still. I've never seen that before,
never. *Sigh* He had movements so outrageous he
couldn't hold glasses, he was completely involuntary. In fact,
he now tried to make himself do that again (imitate his jerking waving
motions) and he can't even remember how he did it. Three
minutes with this lady (pointing to Dr. Chow) right here, he sat
completely still, I've never seen that before and today we went to her
workshop. After working with a group of people she spent a
little bit of time (8 minutes) with Bill *sigh* he walked from his
chair to the center of the room and began to dance step with her!
*applause*
I got tears in my eyes, that was
pretty moving. I thought enough for now let's go
home. Then she said let's make sure he gets practice of this
so he walked by himself the full length of the conference room, again I
was astounded. She asked me if I wanted to get up here and
talk about it. I was pretty interested and I wrote all these
notes which I haven't been able to read, not once. But besides
all that, *snicker* I see Bill asking me "you sure you want to do
this?" Folks, um, you know this is not a paid announcement, I
am just stunned! *applause*. His wife is arriving for the
first time to the United States at the end of this month and they were
married and I've seen the video tapes. He was standing in a
Cambodian ceremony and you do a lot of standing. He was using
crutches and two strong men were holding him upright. When he
gets to see his wife, he gets to greet her standing. Bill,
what a blessing these two days have been.
Just as an aside, I was a veteran
in Desert Storm, I had heart surgery in 1992. They went into
my back so they cut the whole left side trapezius muscle group which is
my power side. I have no strength in my left side and
arm. And I have 25% nerve degeneration. After my surgery I was
put on 500mgm darvoset, a pain medication…since then I had not run
out. I have taken increased and stronger dosage and now I'm on
what is called Oxycontin, a Time Release pain medication. As a
test after I saw Dr. Chow yesterday at the workshop, I stopped taking
my medication last night just to see what happens when I came back to
her workshop and I still haven't taken any. I can feel that effect, but
folks, when I came today I reached down automatically with my left hand
to pick up my gym bag, something I trained myself not to do a long time
ago…for 10 years, I have never been able to do this… (he picked up his
heavy gym bag up high to show everyone, then dropping it and continued
to raise both arms up in the air saying that he could not do that for
10 years) *applause*. Thank
you.
(Before getting off the stage, Bill
grabbed the surprised Dr. Chow and danced with her up on the stage to
whistles, cheers and tears! And then walked down the stairs to
his wheelchair.)
Case
#5: PARKINSON'S DISEASE
Ten years with Parkinson's disease
made me totally dependent upon my wife for all activities of daily
living (ADL). I am 60 years young, over 6 feet tall, and a retired
Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). My symptoms included very severe
tremors with rigidity, "freezing ," stooped posture 80% hunched over,
poor balance, and no longer driving. Prior to treatment with Chow
Integrated Healing System and Chow Qigong, I had tried all medicine
means and had just spent $40,000 for a one-month experimental program
and had further deteriorated.
Approximately once a month I had 2
or 3 days of therapy when Dr. Chow came to Ottawa. Then in between
times I practiced what I was taught and had Chow Qigong therapy with
Dr. Chow's assistants. Many things improved simultaneously, but I will
highlight only some major first time improvements. In June 1998 after
the first 1 ½ hours of therapy with Dr. Chow and her team, tremors were
reduced. In July, movement improved, with less "freezing." In August,
for the first time in 6 months, I drove my car accompanied by my wife;
for the first time in more than 2 years, I read some books, shaved with
safety razors, and carried out some self-care. In October, I was
rolling and crawling, playing, and closed up the pool with
grandchildren. In November, I got up from and down to the floor
readily. In December, for the first time in a year, I drove my car
alone. From December 1998 to now, July 2001, 1 have continued to
improve; in fact, some things I am doing even better than before I
became ill. (Such as lying on the floor with my feet simulating riding
a bicycle up in the air!) I now lead a normal life handling all my own
ADLs. I golf, climb ladders to prune trees, sleep well, have spent 4
hours shoveling snow off my roof this winter, and opened a new business
with my wife—the only gift shop at the new casino. I also can think of
others better and be more thoughtful, whereas I was quite centered onto
myself in the height of my condition.
Case
#6: HEAD INJURY
I was a second-year engineering
student and an aspiring champion in the International IndyAuto Races.
In January 1999, my world collapsed when I suffered a brain injury in a
motor vehicle accident along with a fractured pelvis, broken collar
bone, and a torn urethra. I remained unconscious for almost 3 months.
For 1 year my recovery progressed
well under the care of a good rehab team. With my strong will and
desire to get back on my feet, I regained my ability to speak, and
although in a wheelchair most times, I was able to use a walker
unsteadily for short stints with close surveillance. By the second year
my progress had leveled off. In spite of the expert team and
for undetermined reasons, severe intentional tremors impeded and even
made me regress.
My family and I were very
frustrated and angry. I now used a wheelchair more often and needed
total assistance to dress and eat. My whole body had moderate shaking
when I tried to take steps to walk. My right hand was gripped and rigid
with a fixed elbow and wrist, making it almost useless. My left arm had
severe tremors so that I could not hold it up and had to hold my upper
arm pressed to my body in order to have any control. I had some
drooling, and my speech was unclear.
In March 2001, we were introduced
to the Chow Qigong Healing System. Immediately I felt my body
responding. Dr. Chow showed me how to breathe using my diaphragm to
control my spasms. My drooling stopped, and my speech was clearer. She
used Qigong massage with my right wrist, which was very tight, making
it nearly useless. Within about 10 minutes. Dr. Chow had my wrist
bending easily. My mother cried seeing this and we were both convinced
of the magic of the Chow Qigong Healing System.
Under Dr. Chow's training I started
noticing that I could do things I hadn't been able to do since my
accident. In 3 short months of seeing Dr. Chow each month for 3 to 4
days, 3 to 4 hours per day, I have been able to achieve many "firsts"
and complete many activities of daily living. Whereas before I had to
be fed most of my meals, now I can eat independently with a regular
fork and spoon. A caregiver or my mom would dress me and now I get
dressed independently. I can put on my belt, shoes and socks and even
tie my waist ties. I spent most of my time in a wheelchair before and
needed close supervision when I walked with a walker. Now I walk using
only a walking stick with supervision for occasional loss of balance. I
would never answer the phone but let the caller leave a message; now I
can write phone messages and even make journal entries that are legible
with smaller printing. Because of the urethra tear, I was
impotent. After 2 and a half years, now with Qigong, I have regained
some sexual sensations.
This list of "firsts" is lengthy,
and I will achieve more each day. I continue to look forward to my
sessions with Dr. Chow, convinced that I will soon return to a life
which is full, rich, and independent.
Case
#7: SPINAL CORD INJURY (CERVICAL)
The physician explained that Mr. P.
sustained a head injury, C5 fracture, and spinal cord injury, and he
received surgical intervention to fuse and stabilize his cervical
spine. With respect to his spinal cord injury, Mr. P. had no power in
his legs and only large muscle movement in his arms. He had no
independent trunk movement. In addition to his permanent quadriplegia,
Mr. P. also suffered from poor sleep, neurogenic pain in his shoulders
and arms , and bladder incontinence. Overall, Mr. P. demonstrated mild
to moderate loss in memory, more in nonverbal memory.
The physician also indicated that
Mr. P. would experience further recovery around the level of his spinal
cord but not below. Therefore it was expected that Mr. P. would
re-cover further function/movement of his shoulders and increased
strength bilaterally to his arms. Less recovery was expected, however,
of his wrists and hands, and it was not likely that Mr. P. would
recover further trunk or leg function.
Mr. P. first saw Dr. Chow on July
13,1999. At that time, Mr. P. could lift his right arm to shoulder
height and his left to half that height with a lot of pain in the neck
and shoulders. He had very little wrist movement and feeling only on
the inner side from his elbows down. When he was touched, he went into
spasms and had to be held down. Exercising was impossible because of
this. He also had an ulcer on his left foot, which would not heal. He
was depressed and cranky, would speak very little and made no eye
contact. He was very apathetic.
After his first session with Dr.
Chow, Mr. P. could control his spasms with his new breathing technique,
he could sit by himself on the side of the bed for a few minutes, and
he could pull himself up from lying to sitting with help.
Six months later, after seeing Dr.
Chow every month and having two practitioners work with him twice a
week at home, Mr. P. has made significant physical and mental
improvements:
The ulcer on his left sole has
healed.
He controls spasms with Qigong
breathing techniques.
He is free from shoulder and neck
pain at rest or during exercise.
He sleeps a lot better.
He can turn on his side in bed by
hooking his arm over the side rail.
Because of the above improvements,
the need for an overnight attendant was eliminated. Assisted exercise
involving Mr. P. pulling himself up from a lying to a sitting position
has strengthened his back muscles. He can now bend down to touch his
toes while sitting in his wheelchair and get back to the chair by
himself. Rolling with only a little assistance on the floor mat
continues to strengthen his upper torso and helped him regain some
sense of his body movement and alignment. His endurance has increased
to the point where he can roll 200 times in 52 minutes without resting.
For the first time in his life, he
can hold his 20-month old son, Chris, in his arms. Chris has also
changed from a shy boy to a very warm and joyous fellow. He eagerly
watches Dr. Chow working with his father, and he uses some of the
English words he has learned to encourage him.
Massage and Cupping has resulted in
feeling on the outer part of his upper arms and he has more feeling in
his upper chest and back. His urine stream is now strong.
Mr. P. has a more positive outlook
on life now. He eagerly participates in his exercise program. He is
also thinking about learning computer skills or other possibilities to
improve his chances of working again.
It is strongly believed that with
the continuation of the intensive therapy with the Chow Qigong
Integrated Healing System, Mr. P. could regain much more mobility and
independence and lead a happy and fulfilling life. With all the
improvements achieved in the last few months, recovery potential can be
unlimited as long as he is willing to work hard.
Case
#8: STROKE
Before treatment. The 62-year-old
patient from North Carolina suffered a stroke 2 years before coming to
see Dr. Chow, and she manifested right hemiplegia requiring a shoulder
sling and right hand and leg braces. The prognosis was that of
continued deterioration and that she would never be able to drive a car
again. She could walk only about 10 feet with a quad cane with her
right leg dragging. Her right hand and arm hung useless by her side,
and she could not move her right arm or leg at all. She was told that
unless she used the sling and braces, arms, hands, knees, and ankles
would come out of their sockets.
Her energy level was extremely low,
she tired easily and was very depressed. Medical treatment had not
helped her, and the acupuncture she received elsewhere gave no results.
After treatment. In 9 days of
treatment. Dr. Chow used a strong Qigong component in her therapy, and
she immediately accomplished the following: The patient could walk
seven blocks in San Francisco, including hills, she did not need braces
or slings; lying down she could totally move and exercise her right arm
and leg; she could use her right hand to hold a cup to drink;
she could balance well with both feet together, and she could walk
around home without support. She felt optimistic, happy, and energetic.

Now
14 years of age, TWB was the product of uneventful 40-week gestation
culminating in a one and a half hour labor. He was slow to
turn over, sit or stand. Did not walk until 18 months. His first
infection was at 3 weeks. He had multiple ear infections every
month until 1 years old when he started with a homeopath. A
hearing test at 15 months revealed bilaterally poor
hearing. He needed tubes placed in ear. After sleep
studies, his parents were told that he had sleep apnea and his adenoids
were removed. At 20 months had Respiratory Syncithial Virus.
He developed a chronic cough and clinical asthma. In the early
school years, he developed social anxiety had to be hospitalized
multiple times for asthma, sinusitis or gastrointestinal
symptoms. By 6th grade, he started with
Jonathan Goldman with energy work and acupuncture with resultant slight
reduction of asthma flare-ups and pain.
By
the time he was evaluated by Dr. Chow in August, 2004, he was a steroid
dependent asthmatic. He had suffered from various
complications of this treatment, including: pneumonia, steroid
withdrawal syndrome, multiple respiratory tract infections, various
monilial infections, several bouts of gastroenteritis, and chronic
epigastric pains and was hospitalized five times in the previous year
for flu, pneumonia, and asthma. He had chronic myalgias,
arthralgias and fatigue.
He
started with the Chow Integrative Healing System and Medical
Qigong. At his initial visit he was noted to have cold hands
and feet, had great difficulty climbing stairs, poor energy level,
fatigued easily, was very pale, had poor balance, could not run, and
could not eat much because of nausea and fear of emesis. His
low energy and constant exhaustion made it impossible for him to stay
awake past 7:30 in the evening. His attitude and ability to cope with
social anxiety was significantly limited. On July 4th
of 2004, TWB was unable to walk five blocks from his home to town due
to sever pains.
Dr. Chow performed and
taught the family Chow Medical Qigong for about 4 hours daily including
special Qi hand and foot massage. To motivate him to eat
proper foods, Dr. Chow and his family took him shopping
for good food, primarily vegetables, and taught him how to stir fry
with wine. Dr. Chow started him on four-hour therapy for four days. His
feet felt lighter and bouncier, his balance vastly improved so that he
could run up and down the flight of stairs without holding onto the
railing. His complexion changed to pink and his hands and
feet were warm. He was smiling and happy and loved to stir-fry
with wine. They call him stir -fry king! On the last day he
ran around the city playground where he had never been able to climb
the ladder to slide down the slide, nor sit on a swing and swing high
in the air or twist in the swing, nor balance walk the low stone walls,
nor get on the rotating platforms. Well, he did all of this
with such a joie-de-vie it was beautiful to watch and to participate
with him! Dr. Chow taught his family, including grandfather,
to do Chow Qigong together and hand and foot massages on
him. He practices 2 to 2.5 hours daily of Chow Qigong
(sometimes lead their weekly group) and adheres to the dietary
life-style protocols.
Whereas
in July, he had shortness of breath or severe pain after walking one or
two blocks, by August he completed a 3-mile hike at Immigrant Pass
(elevation 9870 ft.). By September, he completed a 12-mile hike with
his family at Mt. Eddy (elevation 9000 feet)! The
transformation in just two months has been astounding. His strength and
vitality have improved significantly. TWB is now physically active and
often stays up until 9pm. He quickly overcomes flu and asthma symptoms.
He has also transitioned into public high school and is a productive
and successful freshman, participating in sports. He has also
learned some of the techniques Dr. Chow uses and is able to "scan" for
areas of Qi alteration and either augment or reduce the Qi in that area
as needed. This winter he was able to thwart several bouts of
asthma by immediately intensifying his Chow Qigong Breath exercises. He
has been weaned off Prednisone and is leading a normal active life.
TWB
also is highly sensitive to energy fields in himself and others. TWB's
goal is to become a catalyst to aid others in their healing. TWB's
desire is to support each person's personal growth and transformation
to wellness in body, mind and spirit.

Arthritis Pain
When
she was first evaluated in October 2002, PW, a lovely 18-year-old
Canadian Native young lady and daughter of a tribal chief was suffering
from debilitating arthritis. For two years, she was home-bound
and had to be home-schooled because of her debilitating pains and
fatigue, resulting in severe depression. She described extreme
pain in her upper and lower back, and polyarthritis involving the
wrists, fingers, knees, and ankles. She also had pains in the
hips, legs, shoulders, and ribs. She started noticing myalgias
and polyarthralgias in January 2002. She consulted her family
doctor who performed serum studies and informed her that she had
"arthritis". She was referred to a rheumatologist in 2003 who
was not certain of the source of her myalgias and swollen joints. He
had considered a combination of Lupus and Rheumatoid arthritis and was
treated with Methotrexate and Prednisone with some improvement until
August of 2004 when severe symptoms flared up again. She returned to
the Rheumatologist who then felt she had Rheumatoid Arthritis.
She
had minor relief after 6 sessions with a hand energy healer. A
"Sweat Lodge" ceremony at her Indian reservation did not provide any
improvement. A "healing touch" chiropractor was unable to help
her.
October
19, 2004, initial assessment was made by Dr. Chow and Chow Medical
Qigong applied for 4 days of 4 hours per day therapy. After
first day of therapy with Chow Qigong, she felt stronger, pain
diminished and feeling higher energy. Her coloring became pink
instead of pale. After four days, she was walking normally and
with energy, could climb the stairs, and laughing which she had not
done for a long time. Discussion was held on her vision for the
future. She did not have any visions. However it was possible
to motivate her to think of many possibilities and she concluded for
then that she wanted to be a professional volley-ball
player. Before she got ill, apparently she was one of their
"star" volleyball players. Upon returning home to Alberta, The
tribe was surprised at how well PW looked and felt. One month
later, she returned to San Francisco to attend the Seventh World
Congress on Qigong and have further therapy. She attended the
Congress events with gusto, even danced at the evening
affair. They were surprised. At this second series of
therapy (four 4 hour days) she continued with no pain and included a
one hour session
of ball-throwing and catching with good dexterity. She is
definitely looking forward to being able to play
volleyball. She felt she had high energy and was happy. She
was enjoying music and wanted to become a professional athlete. After a
month of Chow Qigong treatments and exercises, she was able to climb up
and down the stairs. She tolerated car rides better
. She was able to walk and keep up with others. In
fact, sometimes others had a hard time keeping up with
her. She had more energy and did not become easily
upset. Full recovery will depend on her diligence in
practicing the exercises, meditation and full Medical Qigong routine,
which she has been taught.

Brain
Tumor and Paralysis
My
young son had numerous operations for a brain tumor. In April, the
doctor said he would die within two weeks after discharge from
the hospital. With a special diet, tea and Chow Qigong, the
MRI in November showed a 60% reduction in the tumor. One of the
surgeries left him with paralysis on the right side, no feeling on the
left side of his face and head, nor any hearing in his left
ear. With four intensive days of Chow Qigong with Master Chow, he has
regained his balance in walking and jumping, can hear with his left
ear, has full feeling in the left side of his face and head,
and can smile straight.

Cancer
Two
years ago, my doctor said I would die of cancer without radiation. With
Chow Qigong and other alternatives, today I'm well and live a full
life.
J.C., San Jose, CA
Cancer
I visited Dr. Chow the first time
in 1994 shortly after having surgery to remove a cancer tumor in my
throat. I refused the radiation treatment simply because for one I
couldn't afford it and for two I didn't care to go through the very
traumatizing experience and be left with no hair on one side of my face
and no saliva glands in that side of my mouth. I also held a firm
conviction that it really wasn't necessary as long as I took the right
steps to treat whatever cancer was left in my body. Qigong was just one
of the steps that I decided on for my cancer recovery. Since I was also
involved with Reiki, hypnosis, NLP, herbs, and worked with a personal
coach on my thought and speech patterns, one cannot say which one of
these modalities was the most effective, but I like to think Qigong as
presented by Dr. Chow was the most effective.
My "treatments" included five simple exercises that I was to perform
three times a day. Twice a week I visited Dr. Chow who treated me with
acupuncture. Prior to the acupuncture treatments I was to meditate with
a specific posture and with a specific breathing pattern. I shall not
say that the exercises were easy. They are simple, but when one has to
go through dozens of repetitions of each exercise while breathing in a
particular way, it is at first very tiring. After a few weeks, I was
surprised to find how easy it was to finish all the exercises and feel
more energetic afterwards.
Once again in 2003 I found myself at her doorstep after having a triple
heart bypass. In a matter of hours she had me running around the room
as though nothing had happened to me. I only wish I had not stopped
seeing her when I did.
My deepest affections go out to Dr. Chow and her work. I am deeply
grateful for all she has done for me. Her work continues to be a
guiding light in my life.

Chronic
Fatigue
I am
in top health now because of Dr. Chow's book, "Miracle Healing from
China - Qigong". My three years of chronic fatigue caused me
to stop work and school. I was home-bound for four months
before I found Dr. Chow's book. I practiced 3 -4 hours per day for
three months and my life completely turned around. Now I am in top
shape, work full-time, went to school full-time, and
graduated from my Bachelor's program. I hike, bike, dance, volunteer
and sing with vigor.

Cerebral
Palsy
About
three years ago, my wife (Mary Ellen) and I became foster parents for a
small, huge hearted island boy who had the eyes and the laugh of the
Buddha. The day he entered our home, we were certain that he
was a miracle. As Children's Services began supplying us with
the obligatory paper trail that attaches itself to all foster children,
our certainty was confirmed. Setelo was born three months
pre-mature. Lacking any pre-natal care, he was extracted from
his mother's womb barely larger than the size of a peanut. He
was escorted into life by a pair of stainless steel forceps some
thirteen weeks before most children make their move for the birth
canal. In addition to roughly fifteen other diagnoses, he had
meningitis, staff pneumonia, hyaline membrane disease, he contracted
hydrocephalus, and he suffered two major cerebral hemorrhages
motivating the Chaplain to read him his last rites…two
times. At minus thirteen weeks old, he had already survived
his two sisters; one was his twin who was given the better odds for
living . I am certain that the reason Setelo made it was
because he possesses an infinite understanding of the unbridled joy
this world offers him. Although I wasn't there, I can picture
Setelo after five transfusions; seven ultrasounds; multiple needles
from dopamine, steroid, and penicillin therapy; a lumbar puncture; a
battery of x-rays; installation of a shunt in his skull; and numerous
catheters and tubes to handle his feeding and excrement; and I can see
him in his incubator celebrating his survival with a white knuckled
hand locked tight in a palsied – yet nevertheless defiant fist that
said simply: "I'm here, and I'm stayin'."
After
all the trauma, Setelo still carries the shunt in his head and a highly
original form of cerebral palsy. Verbally and intellectually,
he's topping the charts; motorically, he still presents somewhat like
an infant. His appearance, however, is that of a very happy,
intelligent, energetic, charismatic, and capable four-year old
boy. I might also add that he is devastatingly handsome.
For
three years, my wife and I have been engaged in an endlessly complex
and intricate dance/juggling act/scheduling nightmare with a host of
doctors, therapists, and care-givers to teach Seleto to relax that
white-knuckled grip, to sit up on his own, to roll over, to kick his
legs without crossing them, and to overcome – in whatever small way his
is able – his cerebral palsy. Quite frankly, up until just
recently, if I were forced to give an honest prognosis, I would have
had to begrudgingly agree with one of his physical therapists who had
the annoying habit of repeating that old line from 'Humpty Dumpty':
"All the king's horses, and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty back
together again" (which made me want to pop that therapist in the
nose). I never believed Setelo was broken in the first place –
just different. I didn't want to believe that he was destined
to be forever imprisoned inside his uncooperative body, but when push
came to shore, I was bracing myself for the possible reality that
Setelo may never sit up on his own or use his right hand, and I had
begun to believe that there was no hope that he would ever
walk. The prognosis was so bleak that another physical
therapist predicted he'd need surgery before June '99 to snip his tight
little leg muscles so that they don't pop his hips out of joint.
On
March 18, 1999 Mary Ellen and I decided to bring our soon-to-be adopted
son down to a Doctor of Chinese Medicine in San Francisco. Her
name is Dr. Effie Chow, and she practices an ancient form of medicine
known as Qigong. Dr. Chow spent three and a half very short
(three hour) days with Setelo, and we left her office with a list of
over thirty physical accomplishments Setelo had never before
achieved. He began eating with his right hand for the first
time. He began sitting up on his own for up to five and seven
minute periods within twenty to thirty minute stretches. He
started removing and replacing caps on pens using both
hands. He learned to roll over multiple times on both
sides. He started to walk – in spite of severe leg crossing –
with remarkably less assistance than ever before. We worked
hard for almost three years to try to accomplish things that Dr. Chow
was able to teach him in just over three short days. When he
returned from visiting Dr. Chow, his physical therapist was able to
stretch his groin to the point of maximum extension, and all talk of
immediate surgery had abated. Physically, Setelo is growing,
changing and becoming proficient at things we previously dared not hope
for. Dr. Chow believes that with consistent care, she could
get him walking; from what we've seen – we believe it's possible.
Dr.
Chow's successful approach to all forms of paralysis is achieved by
moving Qi energy through pressure points. As participants of
Qigong, we neither have to change our religion nor abandon our western
medicine practices (much of the western therapy he's received still
serves him). Qigong, however, is surprisingly fast-working –
and in our son's case – a highly effective approach to actually shift
his body's ability to move more functionally and quite possibly avoid
surgery. Since Dr. Chow's remarkable work about a year ago,
we have been limited by time and money to continue Te's
treatments. Te' has, never -the-less, continued to make some
physical progress with the minimal amount of Qigong we have been able
to administer. An example of this is Te's ability to uncross
his legs himself while walking with assistance, and continued
significant increased use of his right hand.
Setelo
is still perfect just the way he is. He is still a miracle,
but what Dr. Chow has helped us understand is that like all miracles –
that with Qi – there appears to be no limit to what he could
do.
Thank
you, Dr. Chow,. You have revolutionized our lives.

Cerebral
Palsy
L.L.
was born at 41 ½ weeks gestation to a 45 year old German mom who had
good prenatal care. She had an emergency C-section for fetal
distress. She required prolonged resuscitation and her Apgar
of 0 at 1 minute and 5 minutes, and 3 at 20 minutes. She
suffered severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. She spent 6
weeks at neonatal ICU and required Dopamine and Dobutamine drips along
with several transfusions for anemia and coagulopathy. CT of
the head revealed white matter injury. She needed a gastrostomy tube
for gastro-esophageal reflux. She was subsequently diagnosed
with cerebral palsy with cortical vision and hearing loss. She was
found to have a dislocated left hip at 5 months and was treated
conservatively with chiropractic care with some improvement in pain and
mobility. At 11 months she was hypertonic and small for her
age and had severe motor, auditory and visual problems and was unable
to hold her head up in prone position. She cried
intermittently and made primitive sucking sounds. She was
chronically congested, using accessory muscles of
respiration. When uncomfortable, she has trembling around
mouth and upper extremities. She was maintained on
Phenobarbital, Zantac, Inderal, and Benadryl. She had
increased tone with flexor spasms of upper extremities and contractures
at the elbows. She also has flexion contractures of lower
extremities. She was on Phenobarbital for clinical seizures and
tolerated feedings every 4 hours by G-tube with some spitting
up. She had thoracic scoliosis resulting in leaning to the
left. She inconsistently rolled from side to side. She
attempts to move in prone position by flexing right knee and pulling
arms. She is beginning to scoot. Her thorax is
concave. She has severely delayed gross motor skills and was
at risk for contracture deformities. At 16 months, her Denver
Developmental scale in language was at 3-4 months and for all other
areas was at less than 2 months. She had ongoing difficulties
with emesis and weight gain had been poor. She was being
given small quantities of solids or purees but does not tolerate large
quantities due to vomiting. At about 23 months, all her
medications were discontinued and she did not exhibit any seizures or
adverse effects. She was being treated by chiropractic
management and sensory stimulation. She was tolerating 4
feedings of pureed food by mouth daily without any emesis and was
having fluids by G-tube. She no longer receives
formula. She had a
hearing aid and she was responding to
sounds and starting to vocalize. At 23 months, her fine and
gross motor skills were still at 2-4 month range and her cognition and
social skills were at 3-month level.
Dr.
Chow met her at 25 months. She was noted to have significant
mucous production and congestion in her nose, throat, and lungs. She
slept and ate poorly, crying most of the time. She did not
initiate movements on her own, her shoulders were tightly contracted
forward, and she had severe kyposcoliosis.
After
treatments with Chow Integrated Healing System and Medical Qigong, and
exercises at home with the assistance of her mother and caretaker, in
one month LL began to be able to bring legs over when rolling with only
slight assistance in holding her hand. Her record is 130 rolls
at one time! She started making new sounds and was more
flexible when propped up in standing position, and able to sit with
knees bent. Her appetite was better and she started to gain
weight. Sleep improved and hip alignment improved. After two
months, she was able to control her saliva better and was able to
suckle from a bottle. She started holding her head up. She
started to be more attentive during exercises by 3 months after the
first treatment and mother noted that she was finally aware of people
around her. After 5 months of treatments, she was able to
sleep all night and was able to sit in a chair without making
disturbing sounds. She now indicates pleasure by a sucking
sound. She communicated her desire to get up by lifting her
head and with someone holding her hands, she was able to pull up to sit
up and then throw her head back to lay down with assistance 40 times in
one session. Whereas her shoulders were tightly contracted
forward, we can now easily stretch her arms and hands out straight over
her head, to touch face, eyes, head, ears, floor, and hips 30 times to
each side. Her spine has extended and straightened out, and
she is able to now lie flat on her back with only a very small flat
pillow. She is able to be balanced on her feet and do some
bouncing for the first time. Physical and Occupational
Therapy had been stopped for over a year. However, with these
noted improvements, Dr. Chow recommended her mother to request for
therapy again. They are now working with her, in cooperation
with Dr. Chow, blending the best that the East and the West has to
offer. Happily, the OT and PT have noted considerable progress
in LL's motor abilities. Together with Chow Medical Qigong
therapy, plans are being made to prop up LL with leg braces using the
easy-stand equipment to strengthen her leg and body
muscles. With such indicated progress and continued
cooperative therapy, her progress is limitless.

Palsy
Eric
was born with cerebral palsy. Eric's left hand was flexed and
ulnarly deviated in a permanently contracted position. He was
unable to extend MP joints when wrist was in flexion nor was he able to
achieve pincer grasp. His thumb was hyperextended at the DIP and the
thenar muscle was adducted. His left Achilles tendon
was severely contracted. Passive ankle dorsiflexion was only 5 to 10
degrees. His left foot was adducted and he was a toe walker on
the left, and was unable to clear the floor with his left foot. He was
unable to walk heel to toe. When walking, his left arm would posture in
flexion. Running resulted in extensor thrust resulting in
forward fall. He had been receiving physical therapy at a major
neurological institute and hospital in British Columbia since he was
two years old. Attempted tendon release of left Achilles
failed and he was scheduled for a second operation. Eric and
Dr. Chow met when he was 8 years old. She engaged him in some
"let's get-to-know-each other" talk. After establishing
herself as a friend, she asked him to sit on the table and tell
everyone what he could wish for if he could have his fondest dream
granted. Dr. Chow has discovered through the years that people
need more reasons to recover from an illness than simply wanting to
recover. Eric dreamed of riding a skateboard and also of
kicking a soccer ball. He wanted to kick it better than
his friends.
Dr.
Chow began to work with Eric. She first concentrated on his
deformed hand by placing it in hers and stroking it. She
instructed Eric to breath deeply and sit with good
posture. She used Qigong maneuvers to flood Eric's tissues
with external Qi. Within only twenty minutes, the impossible
began to occur. Eric's hand and fingers were softening up
enough for an audience of his rehabilitation physician and health
professionals to notice. Within twenty minutes all five of
Eric's fingers could be extended fully and the hand looked
normal. He was able to pick up a large coin with the left hand
using pincer grasp. He had never been able to do this in all
of his eight years. This was only the beginning.
Dr.
Chow then started to work on Eric's left foot. The ankle was
fully dorsiflexed with shortening of the Achilles tendon. As
Dr. Chow applied external Qi through what appeared to be a massage, the
ankle joint began to relax and became more flexible. Dr. Chow
continued treating Eric for a full thirty minutes as she tried to
explain to the audience what she was doing. She then turned
Eric so the audience could see his foot better, and asked his
rehabilitation physician to examine the foot. When he did so,
he was amazed to find he could push it up to a ninety degree angle at
the ankle. With a little coaching, Eric was able to walk
around the room with his left foot flat on the floor. This
felt so unusual to him he had to be reminded again and again not to
walk on his toes.
Dr.
Chow encouraged him to quicken his pace. When he did so his
left arm moved in a smooth coordinated fashion without
jerking. He was able to trot with his left foot landing flat
on the floor and was not thrust forward on his face. Eric was
able to do a deep knee bend while keeping both feet flat on the
floor.
Another
private treatment was scheduled for the next day. At the end
of the session one of the physical therapists brought out a
skateboard. Eric approached the skateboard, stepped up on it
with one foot, and pushed off. At first he was a bit shaky and
needed prompting, but he was at least able to ride the skateboard
slowly and carefully.
Dr.
Chow returned to the center six months later to see how Eric was doing
and to give him another treatment. She found that he was
maintaining his improvements very well. At the completion of
the session, a physical therapist offered Eric a cloth
ball. He walked up to the ball with confidence and kicked it
around the room. "All of his wishes had come true and he was
ecstatic."

Coma
from Motor Vehicle Accident
A
young man, only 20 years old, was in a coma from a severe brain injury
resultant of a motor vehicle accident on the Thursday.
(Other similar brain injuries usually caused long-term coma
into weeks and months. The other person with whom we have been working
in the past few months, had exactly the same diagnosis with brain
injury from a car accident was in a coma for three months
almost three years ago.) At the Saturday morning Chow Qigong
meditation, (only two days later from his accident) I lead our class to
concentrate on sending healing (with sound) to him for nearly
an hour. That day, they called us to report that the medical
staff could not believe that he regained conciousness, sat up, said "Hi
Mom!" Everyone was ecstatic.

Cyst
in the Brain
Andre,
age 22 (reported by Andreas Kuhne, Germany) In June 1993 doctors in
Germany found a cyst that almost totally compressed the left
side of his brain. He already had five operations to drain the cyst. In
October 1996 doctors again found a high pressure cyst on the left side
of the brain between the brain and the bone with the cyst
compressed against the bone. He was to have another operation
to let the pressure out of the cyst but there was no hope of any real
help so his parents agreed that his qigong teacher should find a high
level qigong master with experience in brain diseases. The
parents knew nothing about qigong but were open to new ways and held
off the operation.
In
December 1996 they contacted Dr. Chow and she agreed to
see Andre in San Francisco; in the meantime she did long
distance telephone qigong, sending qi for healing and teaching Andre
the Chow Qigong breathing and meditation. This improved his health so
that he was able to travel in mid-January, 1997.
Andre
spent two and a half weeks with Dr. Chow in San Francisco with
treatment for three hours a day. Back in Germany he continued to
spend two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening
practicing qigong meditation and exercises.
In
May medical and MRI tests showed the cyst was stable,
much smaller, no longer touching the bone, and causing no
pressure. All in the hospital were very surprised by such good results
as the doctor who had advised the surgery had expected to find the
condition worse than it had been in October. Surgery was no
longer advised. Andre is exercising with good energy and a feeling of
love for himself again. He is now teaching Chow Qigong to others. He
traveled back to San Francisco with his parents to participate
in the Second World Congress on Qigong in November 1997.
Distant
Healing
My
first hour long healing session with you, Dr. Effie Chow, on Friday 17
January 2002 during the early hours of the morning (UK time)
inaugurated a turning point in my life. So much more than my
thumb
Diverticulitis,
Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, Late Adult
Asthma, Anxiety Attacks ...
In
May 1993, I was diagnosed with the following:
-
Diverticulitis - Fibromyalgia - Chronic Fatigue -
Osteoarthritis
-
Osteoporosis - Late Adult Asthma - Anxiety Attacks - I already had an
underactive thyroid.
As I
had turned 60 in February of 1993, I thought what a way to start
my so called "golden years." I was tired,
depressed,
in terrible pain, sleepless nights, medicated, in physiotherapy every
day, unable to work, and then I was told I had better start
using a cane for walking so I would not fall - Wow!
I
started researching and soul searching by reading books from the
library on my physical condition. Also books on healing of my inner
soul to give me some healing and inner spiritual peace. One
book that was of great comfort to me was Marianne Williams 'A Return to
Love'. I had to learn that God is Love - Love is God and to learn how
to love and accept myself in my new physical condition.
Easter
Sunday morning April 12, 1998, I went to church for the first time in
several years and in reading the Church Bulletin, I noticed
Chow Qigong every Wednesday night from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. A
gentle healing system and exercise programme beneficial for all ages. I
was now 65! Great!
I
started Chow Qigong the following Wednesday night, April 15, 1998.
It nearly killed me because I was slowly stretching muscles
and joints I had not stretched in years. Plus, I had to learn how to
breathe. But I kept going back every week and started to do exercise
and meditation at home from Dr. Chow's book.
On
Friday, May 1, 1998 Dr. Chow was here to give her Introductory class on
Chow Qigong. I was in pain, negative but very curious to meet
Dr. Effie Chow, hear what she had to say and what miracle could heal
me. At the end of the class I was pain-free and felt for the first time
positive Qi energy going through my body - also my attitude was
starting to change.
Wednesday,
May 20th I had a wonderful exercise and meditation class. It was
powerful and strong, my Qi energy was unlike anything I had experienced
and spiritually I was at peace. Thursday morning I woke
up still feeling the power of Qi, went out to my balcony and
had a good breath of early morning air, then a little talk with God,
saying "Well God, you got me back to Church, you introduced me to
Qigong and to Dr. Effie Chow herself. Now, help me to walk
and get around without falling, with 'No Cane'!"
I
have not used my cane since then. My energy level has improved,
my body has become stronger, my attitude is more positive. I
read Miracle Healing from China - Qigongby Qigong
Master, Doctor Effie Chow daily. I have changed my eating and living
habits, decreased my alcohol intake to the occasional glass
of wine, drink 8 glasses of water per day, Japanese Green Tea, walk,
exercise, meditate and attend Church on a regular basis. Also I have
become a volunteer worker for the Chow Qigong, East West
Academy of Healing Arts, Toronto, Canada.
I
thank God, The Universe, Dr. Chow, Chow Qigong and the many wonderful
teachers who have encouraged and helped me exercise, breathe,
given me laughter, love and support. Many, many hugs! I never realized
how important a warm hug is and how good a great big belly laugh is for
the inner soul.
The
most wonderful thing of all - you can have this also! Chow Qigong is
for everyone!!

Enhanced Psychic Abilities
With
three months practice, my intuitive and psychic abilities became so
sensitive - I knew who was telephoning, predicted the meeting with
someone, could tell when events/incidents would happen. It helped me
a great deal with my work and relationships.

Quality of Life and Business
I
don't have a problem. My life was good, but after Qigong, my business
just soared, expanded with a lot of famous people including the US
President. And, my family is happier....

Dr.
Chow's Qigong System has affected my life in a very positive way.
Through exercises and meditation I have increased awareness of my
mental, physical and spiritual being. My energy and stamina levels
have improved greatly. Tension, due to stress, in my neck and
shoulders has been eliminated and I am able to control and handle
situations in a calm and relaxed manner. Balance and harmony now play
an important role in my life. Qigong has greatly improved the
quality of my life.

Eye Pain
I'm
writing to tell you about the miraculous recovery I experienced
yesterday after my laser surgery. As you know, 2 months ago when I
underwent the same surgery in my right eye, it took 4 days for the
anesthesia to wear off and almost 1 full month before vision began to
return to the treated eye. During that period I could see only large,
black, floating shapes. It was very frightening, painful and
traumatic.
Yesterday,
Philip drove me across town immediately after surgery, to have therapy
from Dr. Effie Chow, Ph.D., R.N., Licensed Acupuncturist and Qigong
Grandmaster. She worked with me for 1 hour with Qigong,
applied Qi (Chi - life force) directly into my head and eyes, as well
as giving me body, ear, and scalp acupuncture. At the end of
the hour, all effects of the anesthesia (wooden-headed fuzzy feeling
and out of balance in my walk) were gone; all swelling was gone, and I
was able to see out of the treated eye without any black shapes and
with just slightly reduced clarity.
When
driving home from San Francisco I did experience significant pain in
the treated eye. At home, my husband Philip, placed his hands
gently over my eyes and applied Qi (Chi) as instructed by Dr. Chow and
all pain totally vanished. Today I remained pain free, felt only a
little tired and experienced only a slightly diminished vision in the
treated eye. This was a much-needed miracle for
me. I want you to know about this amazing woman, who has been
teaching and healing with Qigong for many, many years.
Please
contact her and refer patients to her so others will not have to suffer
as I did.
Thank
you for your skill and continued assistance.
Very truly yours,

Fibromyalgia, Pain
At
the 5th World Congress on Qigong (2002) two nurses from a major New
York hospital who had suffered from severe fibromyalgia, and had been
in constant pain for about fifteen and twenty-five years, got relief
after only ten minutes of Chow Qigong therapy.
Hip Joint Pain and Decreased
Mobility
"Last
summer I was having trouble with my hip joint and it was
aggravating. Every time I walked it bothered me.
You (Dr. Chow) did some manipulation around my knee and my hip was
transformed! You have the strongest hands I have ever felt."

HIV
/ AIDS
For
the past eleven years I have been living powerfully with HIV/AIDS.
I learned early to embrace the disease as a beloved old
friend. I learned to live each day as if there were no tomorrow.
I
have been looking for the healing process of Qigong after seeing
an Aids patient's recovery on a News Magazine Show out of San
Francisco, a year ago.
In
May '98 a friend with breast cancer told me she was going to
Markham to an Introductory session of Qigong. I finally got a
connection. This is where I met Mr. Ma, who told me about the Chow
Qigong exercise classes held at St. Andrew's United Church, right in my
neighbourhood.
This
summer, when I started Chow Qigong, I was suffering through many side
effects and hospital admittances due to my medicines. By my third Chow
Qigong exercise class, I noticed my energy level had
increased and my muscular system was far more flexible. Blood
tests showed an increase of my CD4 counts to a four year high (from125
to 370) and a steady drop of my Viral Load (June 3625 to Sept.1874). My
appetite has increased and I have changed nothing in my daily
routine in two years of taking the new Aids Cocktail with a steady
decline in my bloodwork. It was only after starting Chow Qigong
exercises that all these changes in my bloodwork quickly
reversed. I am sleeping better at night and I have better skin tone
once more. My side effects have, on the most part, subsided as well.

Huntington's Disease
Where
to begin....
The
pain and fear of a person at risk for Huntington's disease is
terrible. I struggled daily with depression, rage and
hopelessness. But I have the children and I cannot give in. I
concentrate all my energy on being the pleasant and cheerful person
they need and I want to be.
When
my neurologist told me that I was now symptomatic, my despair and
sadness were overwhelming. One morning after I had been sobbing for
four hours, I made a cup of St. John's Wort tea. It helped calm
me enough so that I could function and think.
Later
I started taking Ginko Bilboa and found it helped my memory and
thinking. I could think long thoughts again. I tried to keep well and
be positive. You cannot give up if you have children.
So
what were the symptoms? Sleeping became a nightmare. I tossed so
violently through the night, I was afraid of hurting myself or
my husband. I seemed never to sleep. Depression and sadness
would sweep over me constantly. Volcano-like rages. All the
psychological discipline and goodwill could do nothing. Rage surging
through. It was all I could do to get to my room and close the
door.
Standing
with my key in my hand, my handbag, my coat and bags of groceries, I
wouldn't know what to do. I would have to figure it out each time. What
do I do first?
It
was like having too many voices in my head. "Put the water in the
kettle." "Empty the dishwasher." So I would try to focus on what I
was doing. This past winter it got to three. "Put the water up
for tea." "Empty the dishwasher." "Take the lemon out of the fridge." I
would find I had picked up a knife I had no intention of
using. I was having difficulty talking. It took a long time to get the
words out and they were a limited version of what I was trying
to say. I felt I was in a fog. I would stumble a lot. Bump into things.
Drop them. My concentration is poor. On occasion my hands would move
without my intending any movement. I stopped reading because
I couldn't seem to concentrate. I really didn't feel well. I would ask
myself with despair,
"Will
I never feel better than this?"
This
winter, just as my previously frozen left arm healed, I hurt my right
arm and was in constant pain. It even hurt to hug and that's bad.
I
had tea with my friend Claire and told her I wanted to find an
exercise and meditation class. She told me she had been going
to Qigong and thought I would enjoy it. I felt I had to wait until I
could move without pain before I came.
So
at the end of April, I came to my first class. It was very overwhelming
. My meditation was full of bright colours. I felt an electric shock
when I hugged some people. After the class, I felt energised and calm,
an interesting combination.
I
noticed one of the women in the class walked bent over a cane. Her
complexion was grey. She moved as if every movement was painful
and I thought what a cruel irony her name is Joy. (Two weeks
later she was in the centre of the circle). Three weeks later she
looked different, like she had been on holiday. She was standing
straight and tall, and her complexion was clear. She had
stopped using her cane. She had been doing Qigong for three months.
What an inspiration!
I
told the class about Huntington's. Lilian said to concentrate on
my breathing. Lyn said to spend lots of time in my garden.
Dorothy's gentle hands helped me to move in the right direction and Ed
checked my Qi every week. Max's awful, awful jokes, awfully rude and
awfully funny, and intensely powerful classes. I said at one
point, "I can't do it!" All three turned on me and said listen to what
you keep saying to yourself. So I began to see that every week I was
doing better and began appreciating myself for how well I am
handling things.
So I
tried. I tried to notice when my breath was short or shallow and to do
a few diaphragmatic breaths. I have been spending a lot of time in my
garden.
I
noticed there is only one voice in my head when I make the tea now.
That's a huge relief.
This
summer my eldest daughter had a nervous breakdown. My doctor
had said to me that one thing to avoid is stress. One night I was
tossing so badly there was no point even in staying in bed. I went into
the garden. It was completely black. The air was warm and moist. I
looked for a solution. The right thing to say to her and the
doctors. I found it eventually and then I noticed my garden getting
light and I felt with every fibre of my being the sun coming up was
another daily miracle. I felt wonderfully strong, at peace.
I
slept that night, body completely relaxed as I have been no matter the
stress the day brings.
The
healing circle: We all sat in a circle chanting words I had
never heard. I felt I had reached a new level of
consciousness I had never reached before. Briefly I felt I left my body
and was looking down on the people. Then I was back. When Max was
behind me, I felt he was as hot as a bonfire. I felt I was
giving up my disease and all my pain.
I
expected to get progressively worse. I now find myself feeling better
each week. I don't feel like I'm in a fog all the time and I seem not
to have difficulty talking. How do I feel? I feel terrific! I
feel better than I have felt in years. I have handled an intensely
difficult period better than I could have imagined. No
depression, no anger, no difficulty talking, reading with ease and
pleasure and sleeping like a baby.
Imagine
how I'll feel next year?

Knee
Contusion
CD
is a 17 year old male who injured his left knee playing competitive
soccer. He was seen by his orthopedist who, after reviewing his knee
MRI, informed him and his mother that he had bone edema and was
diagnosed to have a contusion. He was prescribed an anti-inflammatory ,
rest and a knee brace for six weeks. He was very upset about
missing the balance of the soccer season. On the second week,
his exam revealed persistent soft tissue edema, tenderness to palpation
of the lateral knee, and pain with range of motion of the left knee.
Dr. Chow treated him with Chow Qigong dispersion techniques and Qi was
applied at energetic points in the leg for about 15 minutes. His edema
improved and his pain was 80% better. He had three more
treatments of about 15-20 minutes each and he became pain free with
weight bearing and range of motion. He went to see his
orthopedist ahead of schedule on the third week after his injury
because he wanted to return to soccer to finish the season. An
MRI was performed and found to be normal. CD finished the
soccer season with his usual flare!

New Jersey
Kidney
Problem
One
of Dr. Chow's youngest Ottawa area clients is a five month old infant.
Dr. Chow correctly predicted the baby's gender when his
mother attended a Friday evening Chow Qigong
Seminar. The infant, a boy as Dr. Chow had predicted, was born a month
later. Ultrasounds taken during the mother's pregnancy showed a
stenosis or restriction of the infant's ureter. The ureter is
the connecting tube which carries urine from the kidney to the bladder.
A prolonged restriction of the ureter would result in damage to the
associated kidney.
The
stenosis was regularly monitored with ultrasound. Since no relaxation
was observed, the infant was scheduled for a renal operation. Five days
before some scheduled x-rays (prior to surgery) Dr. Chow and
her Ottawa team worked with the infant and his family by emitting qi,
massaging the area, and using qi pressure at
pertinent points. The x-ray results showed the stenosis had
relaxed sufficiently to allow urine to pass at a medically accepted
rate. The operation was cancelled. The medical community continues to
monitor the infant. Dr. Chow, the Ottawa team and his parents
continue to apply the techniques of Chow Qigong and
the Chow System with the baby boy.
Migraines,
Asthma, Hiatus Hernia
I'm
more energetic! My pain is gone. For as long as I can remember, I have
had migraine headaches. The last ten years, I have taken
preventive drugs to lessen the almost daily occurrences but the
migraines still came four or five times a week and resulted in two or
three days a month off work. The painkillers, ice packs, and
Sumatriptan could not control the pain enough for me to
function. I also gained weight as a side effect from the
medication.
Three
and a half years ago, a friend introduced me to Qigong
Master, Dr. Effie Poy Yew Chow, the originator of the Chow
Integrated Healing System. I wasn't looking for changes in my health
because I had just accepted the many aches and pains and pills as a
normal part of being over fifty.
The
Chow System seems almost too simple to work but it does. In the course
of six months, I learned to breathe with my diaphragm,
practice proper posture, do specific Chow Qigong exercises and
meditate. Belly -aching laughs and a positive mental attitude are also
part of the components.
I
have not had a serious headache or been on medication
since mid-April and have dropped ten pounds. No trips to the
hospital emergency department. The only headache I have had was a
result of two weeks vacation, which unfortunately included vacation
from Qigong. Even then I was able to stop the headache with
the Qigong exercises and meditation and get back to work in a couple of
hours without feeling drugged. My physician approves.
I
have not had to use Ventolin for breathing difficulties. Several times
the wheezing started and I did the breathing that Dr. Chow had taught
and held the pressure points and the breathing eased immediately.
Again unexpectedly, I noticed that I only rarely use
medication for my hiatus hernia and the stiffness of arthritis that was
beginning to manifest itself in my hands and knees is no longer
there. Even sleep apnea is improving and the list
goes on.
Since
taking the 100-hour training course, I have been able to help some
friends and relatives, and even my CAT, with some pain and
injury. Needless to say, I want to learn more. I have never enjoyed
exercise and have tried meditation many times, but now with the Chow
Qigong system, I enjoy them and miss both if I skip a day
I
have watched Dr. Chow work with people suffering from severe
disabilities and seen limbs move that haven't moved in years and my
health problems seem unimportant in comparison but I am ever
so grateful to feel well- and younger, too.

Osteoarthritis
Robert,
64, a physician in space research, had suffered from a localized 2 cm
area of gnawing pain on his right shoulder for many years. He had also
suffered from a football injury to the right knee in 1955. Fluid
was drained several times, but there was no surgical
procedure. Presumably, there was torn cartilage. He subsequently
developed osteoarthritis with typical symptoms of swelling and chronic
pain (very intense at times), restricted range of motion and
instability of the knee joint. He could not run. Arthroscopy done 10
years ago showed complete loss of cartilage and no possibility of
surgical correction. Most activities, including walking and
running, aggravated the discomfort, therefore he gave up tennis and
Aikido. He could tolerate a little bicycling. He did not want to use
medication. He wrote "My main complaint is that it restricts
my physical activities and the inevitable, barring a Qigong miracle, is
a joint replacement."
In
February 1997 Dr. Chow showed Robert and his wife some
Qigong techniques to do for his shoulder and gave an energy
demonstration. He reported immediate reduction in discomfort after the
treatment with continuing improvement in the next few hours; the pain
was gone completely by evening, with no reoccurrence.
In
March he came to Dr. Chow for the right knee problem. He reported, "I
had a clear reduction of size of the osteoarthritic right knee after
the very first treatment, increased range of motion at knee
and hip, greater improvement on right. I also have a more normal gait.
I continued to improve all evening. The swelling is still
down." Later he reported, "I had only one episode of mild, deep
arthritic discomfort during the next two weeks, some stiffness
and restricted range of motion persists but improvement continues. I am
continuing Qigong exercises, and bending and stretching exercises of
both knees"
During
a visit he showed a tiny wart-like growth on his left little finger
that he had had for two years. Lately he had to wear a Band-Aid to
protect it as it was extremely painful. Qigong was applied to
the wart, arthritic left fingers, painful thumb and wrist joints of
right hand, and he could close his left fist better. The wart-like
growth had smoothed out with no protrusion and disappeared
totally better about ten days.
In
April he wrote, ..."no recurrence of deep arthritic knee pain some
stiffness and restricted range of motion remained; however,
exercises were not done consistently due to extensive travel
in past months. Localized 1-2cm area of pain in supra-patella area of
right knee no longer present. Overall condition significantly improved"
In
June he wrote to say "Just a brief note to let you know how much I
appreciate all that you have done for me. I feel better now than I have
in many years. Thanks to your guidance and remarkable healing
powers."
Pain of Knees and Feet
A
young woman had pains of knees and feet for years, recently
crippling her so that she could not go up and down the stairs
without stooping and limping. She could not stand on her toes
for over two and a half years. Nothing else had
helped. In one Chow Qigong therapy session (one and a half
hour in length), all pains were relieved, she walked up and down stairs
easily and smoothly in good posture, and stood up high on her
toes easily and had good balance! Next day, she and her
husband joined us for a full morning of Chow Qigong exercise and
meditation and she was able to maintain balance on her toes.

Pain
of knees, feet and hips, stomach distress, tight throat
I
attended the 4th World Congress on Qigong on May 7, 2001. In
her demonstration workshop, Dr. Chow worked on my knees and
stomach. I had had an injury to the left knee 35 years ago
and last year extra stress had accumulated to thepoint of
having pain in some part of my knees, feet, & hips with every
step. The range of motion in the left knee was also
limited. After Dr. Chow's treatment I was able to move from
sitting to standing in complete comfort, walk with
ease bend & kneel as well.
Also for many years I have been experiencing stomach distress,
fluttering in the esophogus & tightening in my
throat. Some of the symptoms of Hiatal Hernia which my mother
and brother suffer. After Dr. Chow's treatment, the
floated & tightness abated to ease & comfort.
Also I am much less affected by any foods I eat. I have
learned how to breath and can now open my throat whenever I
feel it together.
I
teach ballroom dancing and am on my feet moving constantly for hours
and have been able to do that with much more strength and energy.

Ringing
in Ears, Diabetes, Arthritic
Hand, Shoulder & Hernia Pain
Ted
had been retired for five years from a job in construction. He suffered
from ringing in the ears, a high cholesterol level, diabetes, shoulder
pain in both shoulders from a fall, painfully arthritic hand,
hernia area pain, profuse body sweating from the waist down,
intense pressure in the head, pain in left chest area; he had no sex
drive and could not maintain an erection. In addition to his physical
pain, Ted was in emotional pain; 30 years before, his wife
cheated once and he had never forgiven her.
On
July 18, 1997 immediately following this first session with Dr. Chow,
his hernia and shoulders were 50 percent improved.
After
the second session on July 19, his shoulders were 95 percent better,
hernia pain 95 percent better, sweating 70 percent better, hands 75
percent better and head and neck pressure 70 percent better.
He noted that he was "doing more work in the house, painting
and plumbing and cutting grass. Temple pain reduced to only slight
pressure."
After
the July 22 session, he reported "ear ringing 70 percent better,
cholesterol level better by clinical measurement, diabetes
improved, shoulder totally better. Hands are totally better,
Hernia pain totally better; Sweating is totally better; Pressure in
head totally better. Sex has improved a great deal. Many emotional
problems are being tolerated better." The general effect is
that he feels much younger with much more energy and is finding
negative situations in life more tolerable.

wheelchair-dependent for twelve years, not only to stand but also to
dance, walk, and climb stairs, after only eight minutes intentional
Chow Qigong therapy.
"Bill"
is a Vietnam War veteran who suffers dystonicchorea symptoms such as
non-stop uncontrolled arm motion for many years. A brain operation in
May had caused a stroke that reduced him to total dependency upon a
wheelchair. Two weeks before the Congress, his doctor and
physiotherapist had told him he would never walk again, and ordered him
a power wheelchair. After eight minutes of Dr. Chow's Chow Qigong
treatment he got up, walked, encircled her in his arms and danced her
around. Then he walked halfway around the large room. Afterwards he
walked up the steps of the stage at the closing plenary session and
after presentation, danced Dr. Chow around again, to tears, cheers, and
applause from the audience. One month since the Congress, "Bill"
continues to be mobile.

ECK
is a 12 year old female who developed a non-productive cough, sore
throat, fever of 101.0 F, ear ache and congestion three days
ago. She was strep negative. She became unable to
speak on the second day and had to whisper or write to express
herself. Her appetite was poor and she subsisted on a hot
liquid diet. On the third day, she was seen by Dr. Chow and
noted to be pale complexioned, sullen, withdrawn and still unable to
speak. A dry hacking cough contributed to her sore
throat. Dr. Chow treated her only 15 minutes with emitted Qi,
"White Flower" oil, and taught her Chow Qigong diaphragmatic breathing
and one exercise. Her skin color improved, she became more
alert and was laughing again, and her cough became
productive. Her voice also improved and she was able to eat a
full meal for the first time in three days. The next day, her
voice became normal, and she resumed normal eating habits.
Her circle of peers who became ill at the same time or earlier were

Vertebrae (Cervical) Dislocation
from Neck Injury 53 Years Ago
It
was a nice surprise calling and having you answer the phone earlier
this week. I was not expecting that good fortune! My
wekk has been so busy I haven't been able to dig out my
anatomy book to identify which cervical and thoracic vertebrae are
involved. Also with each progressing day, deeper and deeper
muscle groups let go so the process of health is still underway.
However,
I've been doing the exercises every day, including standing at the
stake, the meditation tape and feeling qi and to date a severe chronic
dislocation of one of the cervical vertebra and the very noticeable
scoliosis have virtually corrected. Strong tension in the mid
as well as low back and hips also has let go. All this began
probably with a neck injury 53 years ago followed by numerous other
sports mishaps. I've tried everything from yoga to Tai Chi,
other chi gong forms and chiropractic to little avail and two weeks
into your practice I'm able to retain a straight spine.
So...
thank you! For your book and incredible system! I so
look forward to your workshops and training.

STUDENTS of CHOW QIGONG:
Introduction
Carol
Ann Koch: Honours Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology
Registered Community Care Nurse with specialization in the fields
of wound & astomy care (ET Now).
Received Diploma of Acupuncture in 2000 and received training in
Traditional Chinese Medicine in Toronto, Canada. Member of
the Ontario Association of Acupuncture and T.C.M.
For
participation Chow Qigong:
Studied
effects of working with energy through acupuncture & saw
wonderful results that allowed people to be free of excessive
medication & the need of frequent medical testing
began to incorporate herbs into my practice & noticed even more
powerful results.
I
learned some very basic Chinese massage philosophies &
techniques I very much liked the fact that in TCM people are
encouraged to take responsibility for their physical situation
& not only taught about but given tools to control the whole
health status.
One
of my teachers spoke of the power of Qigong. Of using energy
to heal, I made opportunity to see him heal with it and he suggested I
may have some capacity. Since everyone has their own energy
and can be taught to cultivate it and develop sensitivity to
it, I felt it was the strongest basis to build a medical practice on.
After
working in the medical field for 20 yrs. I witnessed the
positive effects on mental health and speed of recovery when
clients are given the opportunity to be part of the team. In
this way, treatment doesn't happen to them they influence the
treatment. This avenue held tremendous potential.
When
I began to study Chow Qigong I expected it to make me a better
practitioner. I became a better person. I began to
develop greater sensitivity and observation of subtleties
within myself and by developing a focus there I had a great impact on
those around me and those I treated.
I
use Chow Qigong as part of my practice, some times
exclusively depending on the condition presenting!
I
have treated clients with carpal tunnel who are now pain free, severe
and frequent nausea and vomiting with migraine headache after
being taught to breath properly, do some exercise, receive
treatment over 8 week period. She has gained weight and no
migraines and only occasional vomiting.
Diabetic
client with neuropathy, experience foot comfort and tactile sensitivity
for first time in many years. A single treatment was able to
reduce a blood glucose level of 18 to 4.2 without negative reactions.
An
ultrasound October 15 showed intestinal lump. After 5
treatments @ 1 per week, medical procedure November 21 was not able to
find any sign of the lump.

I
still have the weekly classes on the go, Every tuesday and thursday
night I have it. The group loves the classes and we are seeing alot of
results.
There
is one girl that took a stroke four years ago. The doctors said that
she would never walk again. She lost all use of her legs and
arms. In the last four years she came a long ways, Now that
she is doing the Chow Qigong classes, her therapist now is amazed by
her improvement with her legs and arms.
In
the last two months of practice she now can raise her arm over her
head, she could not do this before she came to our classes.

I
have some interesting news to share with you. The other night my wife
was complaining of a sore lower leg. She asked me to do my stuff on it,
(Tui Na Ah Moh). She said her calf was sore but for some reason I
decided to start up higher on the back if her thigh. As I was working
my way down, I distinctly felt a spot, maybe a blockage, in her upper
leg which she verified right away but didn't even know it until I found
it. I continued down and found another one in her calf. She said it was
the exact spot that was bothering her. She hadn't told me previous to
this where it was sore. I could definitley feel a difference in the
muscle tissue , it was very clear to me. This is the first time I was
able to find a spot like that.
It
was very exciting for me and I wanted to share that with you. Also
lately I have been remembering some of your teachings from the 100 hour
classes as well as when you visited Thunder Bay and some of the things
you were trying to explain I am just really getting what you were
trying to say, not just the words but the meaning. I wanted
you to know that as well. You are still with me.

I
had a interesting experience relevant to acupressure about one week
after the Workshop ended. For two days I was experiencing GI
distress, which manifested in intermittent hiccupping bouts lasting
30-60 minutes each. These were very uncomfortable
and frustrating because every means I used to stop the hiccups
failed. In the evening of the second day of this distress I
suddenly remembered that Dr. Chow had mentioned that
stimulating Stomach36 (p. 109) could be helpful in
the relief of hiccups. I stimulated the point for about 30
seconds and the hiccups disappeared and never came back!
As
we ended our two days together, once again, in a circle, Dr. Chow asked
us what we would take with us from the Workshop. When my
opportunity arrived I said, "I have been reminded that it is possible
to hope rather than be hopeless. It is possible to
be healthy rather than resigned to diminishing health and capabilities."
What
this means to me is that with effort and consistent
practice the embers of hope can be fanned into flames of possibility,
health and well being. So, though the Workshop has ended, the
Work is just beginning.

Everything
I learned from the Qigong workshop has shaped a
new understanding and a new appreciation of the power of the
body both to heal and to be healed. This healing power is a
gift from a universal god that can be cultivated through
practices such as the ancient Qigong. To understand Qigong,
in a meaningful way, I believe it is important to understand it in the
context of the underlying philosophy of Daoism, the governing
theory of Yin and Yang, and the practices of TCM. The
workshop and readings have provided an initiation of this understanding
. Also, the idea that Qigong must be
learning, experientially, was strongly reinforced in the
workshop and the opportunity to learn in this way was richly
rewarding. It is an experience I will carry with me
through life and one from which I can draw inspiration as I explore new
possibilities in the practice of health education.
As a
new and improved health care system must inevitably evolve,
in this society, I am hopeful that the wisdom of ancient
health practices, such as Qigong, will be recognized the applied in a
way that will enhance the health of all people, as well as the health
of our natural environment.

"I
am a specialist Anesthesiologist having practiced in the Kitchener
-Waterloo region for over 30 years, and have regularly complemented my
western medical training with Qigong, an innocuous yet most
effective "antidote" to the benefit of all my patients. I
wholeheartedly endorse Qigong as the basis for all
therapeutic endeavours. Qigong is truly the
foundation of all health care. It should therefore be
integrated into our present modern western medicine. Qigong
is the life-force and bio-energy of our very existence".

I
have studied a few martial arts and have been interested in the mental
aspects of the arts. I saw an add in our local paper
advertising a 100 hour Intensive Chow Qigong course taught by
Grandmaster Dr. Effie Chow. Anyone who has studied
any martial arts knows when you have a chance to work with a Master you
never say no, you will only meet a few masters in your
lifetime if you are lucky. I thought it would be great
opportunity to learn some gentle and healing martial arts and broaden
my knowledge of meditation.
What
I have since learned is that Chow Qigong is truly for the mind, body,
spirit, and whole self. Dr. Chow has taught me new aspects
about the mind. How simple phrases like "I feel OK" or "no
problem" negatively affect your energy and well being, and
how positive statements like "I feel good" or "I enjoy helping you"
improve your energy level. I would say the most important
thing I have learned about the mind, is stress management on
the job. I began a noon hour meditation after the second
weekend of our course. What I noticed is how
stressed out people in the workplace appear after you have
calmed and center yourself through meditation. The other
people running around, no focused, and obviously stressed.
You just ask yourself why you did that for so many years.
The
benefits to the body are many, the exercises look easy to onlookers
. Although they are easy to learn, they do give you a lot
of conditioning both of the heart and flexibility of your
whole body. The Chow Tracking System has taught me how to
deal with many common aches, pains, and ailments by applying pressure
to various meridian locations throughout the body.
With this knowledge I have helped my family members with athletic
injuries to cold and flu recovery.
On
the spirit side, when you meditate in a group and share feelings
and thoughts afterwards, it evokes deep emotional feelings
and thoughts. I have come to realize that I haven't
completely grieved the death of my mother who passed away 16 years ago.
One
of the best things Chow Qigong has done for me is introduce me to a
group of people who are now like family, we have a special group of
people in Kitchener, Waterloo, who are full of love and kindness and
I know I can count on them for anything.
Thank
You Dr. Chow

Doris
Hammond:
Introduction…
She works in the Information Technology area for a large corporation in
the life insurance industry. She became interested in Qigong
because she had been searching for ways to balance her work and
personal time and the many responsibilities in her
life. She is a believer of alternative medicine and living a
healthier lifestyle and always looks to improve where needed.
My
name is Doris Hammond.
Presently,
I am working at Manulife Financial in the Information Technology
area. As my company is going through building renovations,
2000 people are relying on me on the coordination of
their moves to temporary and then final offices.
This means my working with our Real Estate leads, senior management in
the different technical areas, I need to know all individuals needs, be
it equipment, office size, what is it each does and who needs
to be with who. I initially volunteered for this project and
it is in addition to my office assistant position.
I
deal with many deadlines and each individual's present project to be in
sync with my plans. I spend most of my days in front of a
computer or looking at designer floor plans, meaning I ma
mostly sitting in front of a desk.
With
that, I always have a lot of tension in my neck, as some days
the stress is high as a zillion different tasks cross my
desk. To relief this tension, I book myself into weekly
massages.
In
my personal life, I have gone through a divorce a few years ago,
then returning back to work after raising my two sons
full-time from home and then facing to be a single Mom – all this
anxiety has added to some days sky-high stress as weight on my
shoulders. Since then I am in constant search of
solitude, peace within and I like to find that instantly.
The
first time I heard of Qigong was while I received a massage at 5
o'clock on a Friday, which happened to be a Friday where Dr.
Chow had been in town for another public presentation and
leading into one of her intense training weekends.
I
was drawn to Dr. Chow's every word and attended the whole weekend
. I am still drawn to Dr. Chow's every word; I'm a
sponge to know more. I am overwhelmed with the knowing that I
can help others help themselves. My own life has changed
much, I use the breathing technique, I know how to relief my
neck tension, I meditate to relax my mind, I use the pressure points to
relief my sons from nausea, headache and I teach them to do this
themselves. I am motivated to promote Qigong
on-goingly, offer massages, I eat better, I feel awesome, and have
better posture. Chow Qigong gives me more stamina, physical
flexibility, it strengthens the immune system and slows the aging
process.
I
have been on a searching journey for a number of years now and have
taken many workshops and courses. Incorporating Qigong into
my lifestyle is wonderfully overwhelming, awesome and one of the
best things that ever fell into my life. I want to
learn more and all and will spread the love I found for Qigong.

SELF-HEALERS with CHOW QIGONG
BOOK ONLY: Those
who healed themselves and helped others using Dr. Chow's book, video
and audio tapes as their only resources
Dear
Dr. Effie Chow,
I am
writing you from a correctional facility. I am a twenty five
year old man of Native American and Irish decent. I was born
March 1st, 1976. I came from a dysfunctional
family. I have struggled with bouts of depression and
anger. As well as alcoholism and obesity. I come
from a large family of Native Chiefs and Medicine Men and
women. I was raised as a very spiritual person. I
found that when I wandered from my spiritual path my life would soon
become unmanageable. I soon developed an interest
in Chinese culture when I read a book on Taoism. The Tao
resembled such a striking comparison to Native American teaching that
it has sparked an interest in furthering my knowledge.
My
mother gave me the book "Miracle Healing From China" as a
gift. I read the whole book the day I got it. This
was exactly what I needed. Absolutely
incredible. I truly have gained much insight into myself.
The
information provided in your book was what I had been looking
for to help me make a transition into a more positive
lifestyle. I have studied other methods of Qigong out of
magazines before, but nothing like the Chow System.
Your system is truly a blessing to me. I am keeping a journal
on my progress. I also spread the "gospel" about
your system to other inmates. It has actually
helped some of the problemed inmates become "model" inmates.
My
practice with Chow Qigong on a dialy basis has heeded amazing
results. Since starting the program on 9-10-01 My life has
taken an abrupt turn into the right direction. I am happier
than I have ever felt, even under my present
circumstances. My emotions are good and I feel
positive. My acne has cleared on my face and I have lost
10lbs. My eye sight has improved, as well as
flexability. Aches and pains have diminished significantly
and my energy has skyrocketed.
It
feels so good when I do the exercises. I am very perceptive
to the feeling they produce. The only way to
explain it is awesome. The most amazing thing that has
happened I must share with you. I have always
wanted to study Gong-fu in China and 'Alternative' Healing. I
often ask the Creator during my prayer and meditation to point me in
the best direction. The Correctional Facility I'm
at till 6-20-02 has recently started a school program. The
teachers name is Mr. Chan. He is a second
generation Chinese born in Maylaysia. Upon getting to know
each other we discussed my interest in Chinese Arts and Traditional
Medicine. He then offered teach me how to speak Chinese,
and possibly learn to reach and write it. I was
filled with extreme excitement and accepted the offer.
Apon
finishing an essay for Mr. Chan entitled "The Creators
Devine Science Begets Religion" he was absolutely amazed at my
deep seated interest in TCM, and Chinese Arts. Mr. Chan then
offered to take me to Asia in August 2002 or 2003 when he planned to
visit his family their. And said he could help me
find work and the opportunity to study Gong-fu, Qigong, and aspects of
TCM. I could not thank him enough. Most
importantly I cannot thank the Creator enough for giving me such an
opportunity. The way everything fell in place I
believe is just more than a coincidence.
Doctor
Chow your program has changed my life tremendously. I would
love the opportunity to go to San Francisco to take your classes.
Please
send me all of the information possible about the study of
this system. Class description and cost, and other
pertainant info.
Thank
You for Everything,
Yours
Truly,

Dr.
Chow – You asked if I would jot down my story for your files.
I am delighted to do so, but let me just preface the notes
saying it was such a pleasure to meet you after all these years of
practicing your Chow System, recommending your book to many people and
giving it to numerous others. I am a true disciple,
grateful for your book, your carefully integrated Qigong system, your
wisdom and your extraordinarily positive, high-energy approach to life.
I
was diagnosed with acute lymphoblostic leuhemia, severe blood clots and
a pulmonary embolism along with eosinophiliac pnemonia. The
prognosis was grim; I was told that without treatment I had 1-2 months
to live. That was January 1995. I began
an intensive 3 month chemotherapy and cranial radiation program using 5
different drugs. The protocol called for 2 years of ongoing
chemo – a lot of chemical were pumped through my
veins. I took a positive approach to the poisons, visualizing
them as a sunshine burning away the cancer cells. Still the
drugs took their toll; I lost 25 pounds, and became extremely
weak. The drug preducsone, ate away at my bones and left me
with significant osteoporosis.
I
used visualization extensively, seeing the good clean cells
dancing and multiplying to the music of Bach's Brandenburg
Concertos. I also mediated beside quiet streams where the
water rippled over the rocks and stones and imaged those who cared for
me, gathered in a circle around me holding lighted candles,
praying and stepping up to me one by one to give me a hug. I
journaled daily as well, about the many ways I was touched by love…
from the hand-made cards of the kids from Sunday school
classes to the numerous meals that were delivered to our home by
friends. There were so many kindnesses that gave me healing
energy.
As
soon as I was discharged from the hospital, I resumed treatments with a
physiotherapist who said she was doing Qigong and had taken some
introductory classes with you, Dr. Chow. She recommended
your book and your Chow system. So 5 months after
the 'death or treatment' ultimatum, I began studying and learning one
exercise at a time. Within a few months, I was
practicing up to an hour a day and beginning to experience the
incredible benefits:
- My
legs, one affected neurologically by the drug renicrestine, and the
other wheel had been affected by severe blood clots, pain and swelling,
began to gain strength. When I first began
walking outside, I went one house down the street and back,
then 2 houses and so on. Now I'm walking an hour and ½ a day.
-
Also, I felt a new sense of well-being; then a now I am taking an active
role in maintaining the remission and wellness. To this day I
am convinced that Qigong has helped keep my immune system strong,
functioning at optimum levels and the energy channels open and free of
blockages.
-
Another benefit has been exactly what Qi is all about – that life
force/energy, has increased dramatically. The first summer
after the hospitalization I had to be in my garden
planting, but that happened only with lots of
help. I would dig a hole for the little seedling and my
husband pretty well did the rest, including helping me up off
the ground. This past summer I have worked 3-5 hours at a
stretch in the garden, then fixed supper! Some days my Qigong
happens late at night (i.e. 12:00). But the amazing
thing is that by 1:00am I'm feeling refreshed and energized
and sleep very well.
I
have been sharing the good news about Chow Qigong for several years and
now there is a group of people who are buying Miracle Healing From
china: Qigong and will come together with me to learn
the system and reap the benefits in their own livings and
bodies.
Thank
you, Dr. Chow for all this and more.
With
appreciation and love,

My
first response to Chow Qigong System
I
was very touched by the meditation tape. First I did the first
3 states of meditation. It was very easy for me to follow the
instructions. I felt immediately relaxed, comfortably and
connected. The voice and way of talking to Dr. Chow supported
this feeling. I became aware of the strength and importance of
energy, for our daily life, for ourselves and the others, the family,
community and universe. I still keep some of the phrases in my
mind, because they were so simple and beautiful, that we often forget
them... Then I focused my attention of that part of my body
that causes some pain once in a while. I practiced that guided
visualization, sent the old, blocked energy out of that part of the
body into the atmosphere. It looked like a
twister. Then I took some deep breaths and directed fresh,
flowing Qi to that part. It was moving in a circle and then it
was moving (or I was moving it) in a big circle through the entire
body. It was like a thick yellow-golden fluid with pink
circles or bullets in it. The colors and movement reminded me
of beautiful paintings of the last century. Because I felt so
relaxed I continued the meditation with state 4 and 5. I
wanted to send some good energy to a friend of mine. But then,
when Dr. Chow said, there might come another person in mind that needs
help more than any other it occurred to me exactly as she
said. That friend that came into my mind then was the one that
onced introduced me into the world of spirituality and
meditation. Suddenly I felt sadness and had to cry. I
had the feeling right now she needs some support on her
way. She is such a great person with a big heart and lots of
love for the world. So I scanned her, every detail of her
lovely body (in that moment I realized how much I miss her - back in
Germany) that helps so many others and visualized an expanding shining
red heart into her body.
After
that Dr. Chow guided me once more through the 5 elements to restore my
energy. After finishing the meditation I felt relaxed and
relieved. And I felt vulnerable and sensitive. At the
thought of my friend and while I was telling Dr. Chow my experiences I
had to cry again. Often in my life I had to wish to help
others, friends, but never really knew, how, except giving "good
advice", which is not always a good help. May be this is a new
way.
I
also enjoyed watching the video tapes. While watching I felt
immediately motivated to practice the exercises. it was very
interesting to learn about the different pressure points and meridian
pathways. The big advantage of the system is, that everybody
can practice it easily (the tape proves it) and see results.
It's
all writtenin the book that I haven't had the opportunity to read
jet. I'm looking forward to reading it and I'd like to learn
more about the Chow Qigong System.
Thank
you!

Concluding
Remarks
Tai
Chi, the more commonly practiced form of Qigong in this country, has
received significant media attention. Time Magazine in an article on
Tai Chi benefits called Tai Chi "the perfect exercise.", while The Wall
Street Journal recently did a front page lifestyle story entitled
Qigong The Next Yoga: A Sweat Free Workout—Tiger Woods' Secret Weapon?
As
the field of Psychoneuroimmunology evolves, we are becoming more aware
of the connection between body, mind and spirit. As drug
manufacturers scramble to create the "better drug" to tap into this
system, we can start using age-old techniques to maximize our health
and improve the function of our immune system in the treatment of
infections and cancer.
And
as our children grow up in a stress-laden society, we can help them
"de-stress" with the ancient secrets of Qigong, thereby improving their
concentration, productivity, and health. The benefits of Qigong are
clear in a world of run-away costs and tremendous side effects of
powerful drugs in today's news and reports are far more frequent and
debilitating than ever. Research has also proven that Qigong
is able to assist in the prevention of drug side effects as well.
Despite
our current discussion on evidence and uses of Qigong supported by
clinical and bench research data, we want to emphasize that Qigong is a
model for health promotion. The current research with classic
"Randomized Clinical Trials" is based on current western philosophy of
health care. We need to change directions in our research
protocols to focus on the aspects of better physical, mental and
emotional health in order to promote happiness, productivity and a more
harmonious view of the world. And then, as a result of this
changed emphasis, disease and illness will be less frequent and more
easily addressed when it does occur.
Our
vision is to have Qigong incorporated into every walk of life, all
schools and organizations, so that all children and families may have
that benefit of good health thus a better life. Our children
are the hope and future of our tomorrow. Therefore to allow
their body, mind, and spirit to take flight, their health is of the
utmost importance…and Qigong could be the most important and powerful
catalyst of all times!
