Miracle Cases:
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.
Case 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.

Asthma
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.

Cerebral 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!!

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."
