Is There A Cure For Cancer?

Did you know that there is a law in this country prohibiting health practitioners to say they can cure most common diseases regardless of the facts. As a practitioner you get a list from A-Z, where you can find them all: asthma, arthritis, bronchitis, cancer, ... and the most you can say is that you can "control the pain" or "temporarily relieve the symptoms" of some of them. Unbelievable, but true. So, if you don't want to get in trouble with the law, you'd better obey it. Oh, by the way, these laws are written by western medical “experts”, and the logic behind them is that - if we can't treat these diseases, then no one can!

On the other hand, for people who are successfully treating such diseases, it is "business as usual". Unfortunately, due to the above-mentioned reason, most people unaware of the fact.

We all know that cancer is one of the biggest killers of all diseases. Ever since western medicine discovered the disease, they have been trying to find a cure. Every now and then, we hear about some new discoveries and breakthroughs, but people still seem to be suffering and dying as much as they always were. Of course, some were successfully treated with operations, but those were the lucky ones who were detected early, or the cancer was still isolated. Unfortunately, in most cases, it manifests itself when it's already too late.

Or is it? What do the Chinese say about that? Is there still hope, when all hope is lost? Their traditional medicine, especially herbal remedies combined with Qigong, seem to be able to help a lot with all types and all stages of cancer. But even in China, when it comes to recognition of such therapies, things are still not the way they should be. There is still a lot of resistance from the mainstream establishment and ignorance among patients.

Someone asked a famous Chinese medicine practitioner and lecturer of the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, professor Jiao Shude who successfully treated many cancer patients with herbs, about the accusations that came from some doctors who said that those patients did not really suffer from cancer.

His reply was: "In Chinese medicine, there is no such diagnosis as “cancer”, all those patients I treated were diagnosed by doctors, so if their diagnosis' were wrong, that was their mistake. I never said, I can treat cancer. This is how it normally works - if those patients get well, the doctors say they ‘never had cancer’; if they improve but not completely, they say they 'may suffer from cancer’; and if they die, they say they ‘definitely had cancer’. I don't argue with them anymore, but whoever comes to me, I'll treat them the best way I know how".


There are some great practitioners and a whole wealth of knowledge regarding cancer in China, but some of the best therapies for cancer are self-help ones such as Qigong. Among them, the best ones are Walking Qigong, Flying Crane and Spontaneous Five Animals Play.

Cancer is like a bushfire, it develops fast and is very deadly. So no matter what method is used, it can get out of hand and take another casualty. So if there is any method that saved as little as one human life, it should be taken seriously, studied and evaluated. Let alone those methods that have saved tens of thousands of lives, like the above-mentioned styles of Qigong did.

ARE YOUR CLOTHES KILLING YOU?
They say that “clothes really maketh the man”, sure they can. But according to Chinese medicine this statement is incomplete. Clothes can either really make a man sick or they can help keep him/her healthy. So many people go through life dying to look a certain way for the sake of fashion, even if it kills them. How many times have I heard women say, “the things we do for fashion”. They wear from “so called” really attractive shoes that are too high, tight and very uncomfortable to really tight bras and corsets for example. The only problem is, they don’t even know they are putting themselves to great risk of ill health.

Apart from what common sense tells us, which is to wear sensible clothes such as when the weather is cold, we protect ourselves from it by staying dry and warm with extra clothing. But, what we don’t realise is that clothes that are restricting can be very detrimental to our health. Because our life energy (qi or chi) flows through many meridians or channels throughout the body, if one or more meridians become blocked it can cause problems to our overall wellbeing.

However, when qi is in balance it flows uninterrupted and maintains a healthy life process, hence protecting the body from disease. Here are a couple of examples of what can happen if the flow of certain meridians have been blocked from incorrect clothing.

The Liver Meridian

The flow of energy that is referred to as the “liver meridian” in Chinese medicine starts at the big toe, passes through the inside of the leg, stomach up to the ribs and then ends at the liver. Now just because this meridian is called the “liver meridian” it does not necessarily mean that if its energy flow is restricted it will only affect the liver. It can also cause sight problems, tendon problems, high blood pressure, epilepsy and stroke to name a few.

The Kidney Meridian

If problem is with the kidney meridian that resulted from tight clothing, other health problems may occur. This meridian begins at the soles of the feet, passes through the inner legs, up through the middle part of the stomach, the front portion of the chest and then branches out to the kidneys with the branch going to the tongue. So if this meridian is in any way blocked, apart from causing kidney problems it may also cause a sore or stiff back, especially the lower back, hearing difficulties, bone and bone marrow problems, hair loss and premature greying.

Usually the above-mentioned problems manifest themselves when the 
tight fitting garment has been worn for a long time, such as months or years. But sometimes they would occur even after a couple of days. A typical example is with some married couples who have worn the same wedding rings for twenty or more years even though, in some cases, the size of their finger had doubled in size. They could not remove it because it had cut into the skin of the finger. As the majority of people wear their rings on the ring finger which covers the “Triple heater” meridian, as a result, many people end up with problems such as migraine, hearing problems, gall bladder and shoulder problems to name a few. When many of us get sick and we or our doctors don’t realise that it’s our clothes that are killing us, we immediately run from place to place getting tested and examined and we end up having our symptoms attended to without any concern for the underlying cause. So next time you feel some sort of ailment coming on, strip down naked and take a long hard look in the mirror for any traces of tight clothing - and be aware that if you see it, yet not necessarily feel it, that can be most damaging because it happens unknowingly when you wear those clothes regularly over a long period of time.

Qigong – Is It Safe?

Well, yes but...

Through reading the previous articles, you’ve probably heard many times how safe Qigong is and how safety is one of its most prominent features. But, is it absolutely safe, something you can never go wrong with? Really, how safe is Qigong?

If practiced properly and regularly, Qigong indeed is one of the safest healing modalities in the world. But, if not, it can cause all kinds of problems, from minor to severe imbalances and even death. Well, if it is like that, then what makes it different to say western medicine, so often condemned for its intolerable negative side effects. The difference is, it can be unsafe ONLY “if not practiced properly”. Western medicine can be damaging even when applied in the most appropriate way. Almost every single medication (including the safest ones like aspirin), whether it is orally taken or externally applied, be it pain killers, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, diuretics and, especially, chemotherapy, have a long list of negative side effects. Some damage the stomach, some liver, some kidneys and some all of the above. On top of that, thousands of people die each year, in every country, as a result of medical negligence and through doctors’ / nurses’ mistakes such as patients being misdiagnosed and treated incorrectly, given the wrong medication, wrong dosage etc.

For Qigong to be that damaging, one would need to either do it very incorrectly, or practice it slightly wrong but consistently for quite some time. Or practice a style that is hard to master without proper guidance. Usually before one gets too far and enters a “danger zone”, one starts to feel all kinds of “warning signs” and should either stop practicing altogether or look for the causes. For example, instead of feeling great and full of energy during and after the practice, one experiences dizziness, exhaustion, nausea, palpitations, shortness of breath and feeling awful (not to be mixed with Qigong normal reactions and sensations during practice e.g. tingling, pain, itchiness, heat, cold).

There are more and more people practicing Qigong in the west, but so far, nobody ever died, at least not in Australia, that I am aware of. I must say that I did come across quite a few websites that teach Qigong downright wrong making it possible to cause all sorts of problems down the track (and they should be held accountable if they do) but even so, the potential harm is far beyond average western medical treatments. Compare this to the Sydney Morning Herald report that appeared on the front page in 2009 (July 27 edition) that claims “Hospital errors cause 4550 deaths a year”. In a country like Australia with a tiny population of only 22 million it is not criminal, it’s slaughter!

So, there is a big difference. The chances of getting harmed by practicing Qigong compared to western medical treatments are as big as being injured while on a beach compared to being in a battlefield. In other words, not absolutely safe, but much safer. You still might pull a muscle or sprain your ankle while playing beach volleyball, your skin can get burned or you might drown. But if you look after yourself, you can prevent most of those things from happening. In the battlefield though, even the most experienced are at great risk.

Nothing in this world is absolutely safe

Nothing in this world is absolutely safe, not even the most ordinary things in life, like eating, watching TV, talking, walking, even sleeping. Here are a few examples:

• Have you ever heard of people who choked while eating and died? And how about food poisoning, it happens quite often, all over the world.
• Watching soccer, seems quite enjoyable and safe, but think twice if you are in Europe and English teams are involved. Every now and then, somebody (often many) get killed even if they were innocent spectators or passers by.
• Well, watching TV is definitely much safer, you would think. Until you hear stories of people who got so excited about a program they had a heart attack and died. Like a man who was so happy, when Mohammed Ali regained his world title after beating George Foreman in the early 70’s. Or others who shot their TV set. Or cases where a TV set exploded by itself and injured its viewers.
• Once, there was a group of children playing during their school break and just as one of the kids was about to sit in a chair, another child pulled their chair back. The child fell back, choked on a piece of chewing gum and died.

There are too many examples, just look around you, think and you’ll come up with hundreds more. We are never absolutely safe. Qigong is not an exception either. Excluding those “bad luck” or “one in a million” scenarios in life that no-one can predict and prevent, there are risks and dangers that can be minimised or even completely eliminated, such as preventing car accidents by learning to drive properly. Or preventing buildings or bridges from collapsing by appointing qualified builders to build them, avoiding injuries and accidents to patients by asking qualified health practitioners to treat them (don’t laugh, there are many drivers without a license in Australia and many “self-taught builders” and “health experts” in the world).

Qigong is very much like operating a vehicle. If you don’t know how to drive it, you can be dangerous, not only to yourself, but to others. There are strict basic rules with regards to posture, the movements, breathing and mind focusing. The same as with traffic rules. The only difference is – when driving, by following the road rules, you get to your desired destination. With Qigong, you balance and strengthen chi, in order to get to another kind of “desired destination” be it treat disease, use it for Kung Fu or become a Qigong master. Just like there are different vehicles, like bikes, trucks and buses, there are many different styles of Qigong.

Even though most styles of Qigong are safe and easy to learn, there are much harder ones too, like a particular style that requires a teacher to be present every single day for three years, otherwise the student can do wrong and get harmed. You could say the difference between that style and many others is similar to the differences between driving a car and flying an aeroplane.

When used in treating diseases, 99% of the time, Qigong is a self-healing technique and should be practiced daily (the remaining 1% is when being treated by someone else). There is a saying in China that goes, “One day of Qigong practice equals one day’s worth of benefits. One day missed, however, equals losing ten days worth of benefits.” If you wish Qigong to work for you, among other important things, you have to practice it daily, otherwise you might be wasting your time. It’s one of the most commonly seen mistakes among western practitioners. Others (again, regardless of style) include lack of belief (often compared to driving a car without petrol), being impatient, techniques being incorrect etc.

When it comes to different styles, each of them has their own special set of rules. Here are a few differences between some common styles of Qigong.

Fragrant Qigong:

• Should not be concurrently practiced with other styles of Qigong
• Requires no mind focusing
• Requires no special breathing techniques
• Is very strict on performing the movements in the correct order
• Not too strict with regards to exactness of movements
• Can be practiced anytime, anywhere

Walking Qigong:

• Requires special breathing techniques
• Must free the mind of all thoughts
• Not as strict about the order of steps
• Quite strict with regards to exactness of movements
• Most of it has to be done outside in the morning and in the fresh air

Spontaneous Five Animals Play Qigong:

• Strict preparation and mind focusing throughout the exercise, but, because it is spontaneous and the movements are not voluntarily controlled, they can be many and varied (no two people practice it the same)
• No special breathing techniques required
• Can be practiced anytime, anywhere

With Qigong, effectiveness goes hand in hand with safety, i.e. if not practiced properly, it won’t work and is potentially unsafe. It is amazing how some people’s attitude is towards Qigong. When they are sick and looking for something to help their problem, they will do anything to get it. Yet, once they are introduced to a Qigong style that can help them, they often overly relax about it and not take it seriously. All they have to do is “help themselves”. But, no! Just look at them. They start to bargain with themselves and try to do less than the minimum required. For example - do 15 minutes instead of half an hour a day. Or, simply don’t do it at all some days, skip weekends and similar. Normally, they come up with: “I‘ve been too busy” or “I was too tired”, not realising that it is their loss and no-one else is going to care about their health and wellbeing.

Some time ago, I held an info night about Walking Qigong in the fight against cancer, and among the attendees was an elderly lady, a cancer sufferer who was extremely keen to learn. Since her cancer was fairly advanced, it was suggested that she start practicing it as soon as possible. But she ruled it out by saying she won’t be able to start before February (which was a couple of months later, in cancer years - eternity). Alright, I said, but just out of curiosity, what was it that was so important that needed to be done first. “I have to make a trip to the South Pole.” Well, I don’t know how the trip went, but I never saw her again. And I know that she didn’t go back to her doctor because he told her there was nothing else he could do for her.

But, it isn’t all that bad. There are many people who do take Qigong seriously and practice it properly. As a matter of fact, there have never been more Qigong practitioners (outside of China) than today, and the number is increasing rapidly. Why is that so? Positive results and word of mouth no doubt. And this is just the beginning. The reason why it’s not 100 times more popular is largely due to media bias (well, actually, they hardly ever report on Qigong) and because of the above-mentioned attitude of many Qigong practitioners including the ones that have received great results. Here are a few examples that I personally came across and corrected their mistakes before it was too late:

Case 1: A woman practicing the Spontaneous 5 Animals Play Qigong, took it upon herself to totally skip the “opening” part of this style. When she first started learning the style, she of course learnt it properly from start to finish and received excellent results. After that, she got busy and stopped practicing for a while, but missed it, so she decided to get back into it again. However, that’s when she stopped bothering about the “opening” (a very important part in 5 Animals Play that should never be missed) and only did what she thought was good enough, which could potentially lead to all sorts of complications. Luckily, she found out in time about what a terrible mistake it would have been, had she continued eliminating the opening.

Case 2: An elderly lady who took it upon herself to do each movement of Fragrant Qigong 10 times instead of the minimum required 36. In practical terms it simply means that this person wasn’t getting anything out of it.

Case 3: This is about a girl and her boyfriend who not only forgot that Fragrant Qigong should not be practiced while practicing other styles of Qigong and similar disciplines (on a daily basis), but used it as a “warm up” before starting their meditation. With Fragrant Qigong Do’s and Don’ts this is a big NO, NO.

Case 4: A patient with very extraordinary results taught her mother Fragrant Qigong, then her mother taught her sister who mixed up the order and direction of a few movements and kept practicing this way for months. In the end, not only did she not get better, but she also developed vertigo. I cannot say with certainty that she developed vertigo because she did not do Fragrant Qigong properly, but again I wouldn’t be surprised if it was. To make things worse, she recorded the movements on her video camera and sent them to quite a few of her friends overseas. Luckily, I heard about this, corrected her on the order of movements and gave her acupuncture to treat her vertigo.

These were the few cases of people who did not do it right that I know of, among hundreds of practitioners that practiced it properly. Due to a large number of practitioners in China, things like that are more prevalent. In other words, if one in a hundred does it wrong, there would be tens of thousands among millions of practitioners to have adverse reactions. This is so common that there are specialist clinics to treat all sorts of imbalances caused by incorrect practice. Unfortunately, for some, it was too late. Such as a case where a man with severe ascites (accumulated liquid in the abdomen, usually due to liver problems) who practiced a style of Qigong that involves fasting for days. Well, apparently, he disobeyed a very important rule, which was, if one feels great hunger, they should not continue the fast. However, because he wanted to persevere, he continued the fast, which caused further complications and eventually his death. It is a very powerful style of Qigong that can treat all kinds of serious conditions (including his), but one has to do it properly. Another practitioner became blind as a result of staring at the sun, which is a source of energy that many masters use. In his case, he didn’t have a teacher, he was self-taught and it went terribly wrong.

As horrific as it might sound, these cases are still as seldom seen as accidents that can happen on the beach. If you cannot swim, then don’t go in too deep, or learn how to swim properly. And remember: Battlefields are not any safer!!

How to avoid and deal with problems caused by Qigong:

• Prevention is always better than treating these problems
• No need to be scared of practicing Qigong
• Take Qigong seriously, learn it properly and practice it under supervision
• Gather enough experience before attempting to teach anyone
• If in doubt, check with the teacher or stop practicing.
• If you develop any problems, consult an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner (they can be treated by acupuncture or herbs)
• Read more about Qigong, Chinese medicine, Daoism, spirituality, etc. to familiarize yourself with the basics: chi, yin yang, wholistic approach,…

---

And how about this:

You’ve done Qigong for quite some time but you’re still sick?

Ask yourself:

Did you do the right style?
Because there are tens of thousands of different styles and some have nothing to do with health.

Can Chinese Medicine Treat Corona Virus (Part 2)

It's all our fault!!

In our last blog we discussed Chinese Medicine’s approach to treating any disease and that COVID 19 would not be an exception.

But, are you aware that the same principles Chinese Medicine uses to diagnose and treat diseases can be utilised in all other aspects of life to help sort out and correct the problems of any kind? They are known as the universal principles (e.g. yin and yang, 5 elements, bagua etc.) and are a part of Daoism (or Taoism), an ancient Chinese system of solving problems by primarily using non-action (Dao or Tao means the way).

For thousands of years it has been successfully used, apart from Chinese medicine, in Kung Fu, Qigong, Feng Shui, arts, relationships, business, economy, politics… When applied correctly, not only is it highly effective but its results are often immediate, thorough and long lasting without causing any harm in the process.

So, when faced with any problem, a Daoist approach is always to look for the essence first. What that means is that, regardless of how complex the issue may appear, it can be simplified and stripped down to its core by using yin and yang. As they say in Daoism - first make clear yin and yang i.e. distinguish the true from false by relying on facts and not on interpretations, by relying on knowledge and not on assumptions…

Another characteristic of Daoism is that it always stresses the key role of the internal factor. In other words Daoism is more concerned with me (or us) and our own actions in the creation of any problem than the role other people or the external factors (e.g. government, media, corporations…) play in it.

Only then can one hope to achieve wining without fighting or through passivity (in Chinese wuwei or do nothing i.e. getting more by doing less) to the extent that (if you are truly mastering Dao) you’ll be able to correct almost any problem without literally doing anything!

But we are sure, to many, this is still too vague so let’s see how it can be practically applied in the current world crisis caused by the apparent COVID 19 Pandemic.

According to most reports, COVID 19 is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. They also agree that the disease was first identified in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, and has since spread globally, resulting in the current coronavirus pandemic.

At the time of writing (27 April 2020), according to WHO, there are 2,878,196 confirmed cases and 198,668 confirmed deaths from Coronavirus disease. [1]

To stop the spread of the disease, immediate measures have been taken in most countries consisting, primarily, of social distancing, isolation, quarantine, self-protection by wearing face masks and thoroughly washing hands while monitoring and treating the infected. Yet, despite all that, the disease still seems to be spreading rapidly.

To make things much worse, due to the unprecedented global measures including restrictions imposed on travel, business, any sorts of gathering, even (in some countries) leaving your place of residence… has caused enormous financial losses and threatens to crash the world economy.

Millions of people have lost their jobs, many businesses have closed down, there is a lack in supply of essential goods including food and there is a global panic and uncertainty with no solution in sight, only more bleak prospects for the future. Not only is the world facing unprecedented recession but people are even losing their basic democratic freedoms and rights and many fear civil unrest and the introduction of martial law.

And then, to add to the confusion, there are all sorts of theories and speculations on social media about a man-made coronavirus as an attempt of deliberate biowarfare between USA and China (quite often contradicting each other), accusing mainstream media of misinformation, some denying the existence of COVID 19 altogether, some others claiming it is all caused by the rolling out 5G technology…

One thing is for sure, there is more panic, fear, uncertainty and desperation! Things are getting from bad to worse and there are talks of keeping the lockdown for months, even years. It indeed seems there is no light at the end of the tunnel! Or is there?

Well, on the other side of the spectrum, there is a Daoist way of looking at things: “You had enough of complexity and confusion? Good. Now, let’s walk the opposite direction and simplify things for a change!”

It should start with clarifications, with bringing light where darkness was. And in situations like this, who should we rely on? Who is most competent to guide us through and give us advice? Is it media, politicians, scientists or someone else? Obviously, it is the scientists, and in this case the medical experts.

Science is based on facts and, in an ideal society, politicians make health-related decisions based on their recommendations while the media reports what these recommendations were and what decisions were made so that we should all do our part in implementing them for the benefit of all.

Sounds like everything is as it should be because that is exactly what seems to be happening right now in the world. Or is it? Remember, we said “in an ideal world” which implies genuine scientists give recommendations based on extensive research and facts, evaluated by peer review studies and universally accepted as the most comprehensive and up to date.

Than it would be accepted by the honest politicians, discussed in a transparent and respectful manner and, taking into account public opinion, proposing new laws and regulations. And all that under the watchful eye and scrutiny of the unbiased media whose objective reporting would keep us all well informed and happy.

This unfortunately is far from what is going on in the world today because this world is far from being ideal. Let’s start with the science itself.

Unlike popular belief, and not even taking into account fraud in science (which is so prevalent that most people have no idea), science is not one undivided system where all scientists agree and think the same. There is so much division and disagreement among them that even some of the most basic terms like “disease” or “health” were argued for centuries and their definitions were never satisfactorily accepted by all.

That is because science never stoped evolving and so many things that were universally accepted as truth at one time were later, due to new discoveries, scraped and replaced by the new truths.

The influence of science to all aspects of our world is so obvious that there is no dispute there. And it is exponentially becoming stronger with each passing year.

But this influence is not one-way. Many elements of the society are trying hard to influence, even control and manipulate science for their own benefits. This should come as no surprise. Even from its early days many scientists were harassed by the ruling parties and their discoveries either destroyed or used for purpose other than intended. Remember Bruno, Galilei, Tesla? Nothing’s changed!

And then there are bought scientists in almost every field - from food industry and medicine to 5G safety and global warming proponents. Here is a short, handy definition for how to differentiate the true from false scientists, doctors and other experts. The true ones would endure anything and even lose everything for truth while the false ones would do anything for money!

When you say “I believe in science” which science are you having in mind? Be very careful of your choice because it could mean a difference between health and disease, happiness and suffering, freedom and enslavement.

To talk about honest politicians is like talking about endangered species. Conflict of interest and lobbying in politics are so widespread and even considered normal by many, that people have no idea where the essence of the real problem lies. Unless it is eliminated, once and for all, there is no hope that things will ever get better.

And then there is the mainstream media. Someone once said “Before the internet, people thought the cause of stupidity was the lack of access to information. Well, it wasn’t that!”. No comment there.

Why do people still place so much trust in mainstream media when there are so many other sources of information, far more reliable and their claims generally backed up by independent scientific research and fully referenced. They are open to suggestions and offer comments section where people can express their views and opinions, discuss the relevant issues and ask questions.

No democracy in the mainstream media however. While independent media encourages people to think for themselves and question everything, we are usually being told by the mainstream media how to think and what to do and, in particular, never to question authority.

The more you observe the way they operate, the more you get the impression that, to them, thinking is labeled as conspiracy theory. Well, following that logic, since they never talk about conspiracies, no thinking is allowed there.

So, with a little bit of a background on where all this is taking place, let’s now have a look at how it all came about:

A group of scientists in China last December came across some 200 patients that became acutely ill with respiratory symptoms and immediately suspected it was caused by a viral infection. Not only that all the established scientific procedures that should be routinely followed were completely ignored but, soon after, a diagnostic test was developed without even proving that that was the case. [2]

That test, known as RT-PCR test, then became a standard for diagnosing this “new disease” (COVID-19) that was, according to them, caused by a new strain of coronavirus. It was entirely based on the determined sequence of the genetic material found in the lung fluid in some of the affected cases that were tested. And that sequence is of RNA (not DNA) which may be present not only in a virus but in myriad of other things. No gold standard test was performed as the virus has never been been purified or ‘visualised’. [3]

If that was not strange enough what followed next was far more insane (sinister, rather) because, immediately, the media started reporting their findings and, soon after, more cases were “discovered” in other countries too. All of a sudden, that’s all that media were reporting. The more people watched the news, the more scared they became. The more scared they became the more they watched the news. The media were enthralled! And the panic became pandemic!

The rest is history. But, the story does not end there. Soon after this insanity pandemic started, hundreds of true doctors and scientists all over the world started questioning, criticising and openly condemning such breaches of scientific procedures, false reporting and the brutal measures that were introduced by the governments causing unprecedented damage both to the global economy and to millions of people.

They questioned every single step taken and challenged the medical authorities for their role in creating it, using ample scientific data: Inadequacy and inaccuracy of the test (80% false-positive) [4] [5], severity of the alleged condition (milder than common flu) [6] [7], mortality numbers (overblown) [8] [9], effectiveness of the measures taken (more harm than good) [10] [11], effectiveness of the treatment (ventilators cause even more deaths) [12] [13]…

Despite all the difference in the opinion and division among the scientists on many levels (even agreeing about some basic terms e.g. what the “virus” really is) [4] [14] [15] they came united in the truth of things known and scientifically accepted.

Which, turns out, was diametrically opposed to the view of the medical establishments all over the world. They too seemed to be all united and acted like one, as if orchestrated by an invisible force that told them how to think and what to do. And, it soon became quite apparent, only their view was (and still is) highly praised and publicised by the media. To the mainstream media there is no division among scientists and only those in top positions (the decision makers) are right!! But, “coincidently”, almost all top positions are occupied by the individuals with huge conflict of interest who serve the interests of rich and powerful, not of people. [16] [17] [18] [19]

Now, wait a minute, this sound so much like a conspiracy and we have been conditioned to think that there is no such thing. Or is there?

The history of humankind is a history of conspiracies and telling the truth was always severely punished! Do not believe it? Well then, how about Julian Assange and Edward Snowden? Right now and right in front of our very eyes! They uncovered thousands of conspiracies that are happening right now in this world.

And they are only the most prominent two among the thousands of other whistleblowers that had enough courage to risk their own lives and tell us the truth. It is really a tip of the iceberg. We can only imagine how many more and much bigger conspiracies are going on right now but will never be known to us due to an unimaginable high level of security, secrecy and severe punishment for all who attempt to do the same.

Yet they, who are the true heroes, are being condemned by the politicians and the media and are now being pursued and punished while the world goes on as if nothing happened. How different is that to the crucifixion of Jesus. Which, by the way, was a result of a conspiracy itself. As were Watergate affair, political assassinations of Lincoln, Kennedys, Martin Luther King and other black leaders…

So, you still have doubts about conspiracies? The thing is not whether they exist or not (because they clearly do and always did) but who do we trust when is comes to finding the truth about them. Here is a short, handy definition on how to differentiate between the conspiracy researchers and the conspiracy theorists:

The former base their research on facts, use only reliable sources and witnesses, offer scientific explanations (fully referenced), consider motives, are consistent and neutral, i.e. seek for truth wherever it may lead. The latter base their views on speculations and sensationalism, are inconsistent, even contradictory…

And, of course, there is the mainstream media which are either totally silent on all related issues or, when do occasionally mention them, miss not the opportunity to label all open-minded scientists, investigative journalists etc. as conspiracy theorists. Nor do they ever give them a chance to elaborate their views.

Now that we have come to the essence of the problem, the Daoist approach would be then to offer a solution because what is the point of finding where the problem lies without solving it. And the solution could not be simpler. It is literally yelling at us.

As we said earlier, Daoist approach is to always look inward and not to point the finger at someone else. According to Daoism “I” am the creator of my own destiny. “I” am the determining factor, the “others” are only the contributing factors that can influence me (to some degree) but have no power over my decisions. Unless, of course, I give them that power.

And so is with the current world situation. All that is going on at the moment is our own fault. Yes, there are bad scientists, yes, there are corrupt politicians and biased media but they are not to be blamed. We are!!

One of the basic principles of yin and yang is that they do not exist without each other. And the whole universe follows that law. If there are no feet there would be no shoes. If there are no hands there would be no gloves. And since all this started as a media fabrication (and still continues to do so with even more intensity) who was it that got hooked allowing it to come to this? It’s us!

Was anyone of us being forced to watch their news? And, even if we were, was there anyone to stop us from checking the facts? Let us teach you a very simple yet very powerful technique that can be used in similar situations in the future (and yes, we promise you, there will be lots more similar fabrications, they are already in the pipeline as we speak).

Every time you start hearing about this new “virus”, or a new “threat to our lifestyle”, a new “terrorist attack”… just get hold of your remote control and then, very gently, press the “switch off” button or change it to another channel. “I” am the master of the universe and without me (which is “us”, the audience) “they” are doomed. No need to get scared, angry, stressed, or to complain, organise demonstrations of any kind, sign petitions…

Just stop watching their program and they’ll either vanish or start telling the truth. They need us far more than we need them. And with so many choices out there, we will not be left in the dark. On the contrary, we will stop being in the dark.

That is what they call wu wei or “do nothing” in Daoism. How many times one needs to be cheated before he realises what is going on and prevent it from happening again? Or worse, over and over again, as is the case with this ploy of the media, fraudulent scientists and the opportunistic politicians, all serving the interests of their masters who rule the world behind the scenes.

Wake up from your slumber and check the facts. Media-launched pandemics have a long history. All from the eighties with the fear-mongering and doomsday’s predictions about AIDS, then using the same scenario for the Mad Cow Disease panic in the nineties, SARS Virus Epidemic of 2002, H5N1 Bird Flu Pandemic of 2005, H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic of 2009, Ebola Virus Epidemic of 2014…

Well, some would argue, even if “I” stop falling pray to their ploy, there will always be the “others” who will not and things will still be the same. Or will they? When I become fully aware of my own power that leads to my own liberation why should I worry about their choice to remain fearful, enslaved and to suffer?

Of course, that does not mean, either, that I should just sit and watch them suffer without helping them become liberated too. Truth is light and light dispels darkness. One candle can be used to light up thousands and so can they too. There was never, in the history of humankind, ever easier to spread the information as it is today.

Maybe we cannot trust the mainstream media (and even many independent sources of information too) but we can trust ourselves when we come across some valuable pieces of information and do our homework well I.e. do some research and ALWAYS check the facts!!!!!. Most people still do not realise that the power of social media communication is not in “liking” but in “sharing”. One becomes ten, ten becomes hundred and, within minutes, we can reach millions!

There is a principle of yin and yang that says: “When yin reaches it’s peak, it turns into yang (and vice versa).” In other words, anything that we do can turn against us if we push it over the limit. Such as when an abused child turns on its abuser and kills them when being pushed too far.

We, the people of the world, are this abused child but most of us are not even aware of the fact. And so, we keep on suffering never suspecting there is someone deliberately doing it to us. Yet, with the ever-faster spreading of the information it is becoming more and more obvious, even to the most oblivious of us, what is going on.

This insane idea of trying to enslave the whole world by spreading fear, introducing new ever-restricting laws, forcing lockdowns… may soon backfire and turn the people against them. It may actually speed up the world liberation.

Those who were trying so hard to divide and conker us all may soon find themselves being singled out against the unified world. And the fear they were trying to impose on us will really be felt by them. After all, it is not very comforting to find yourself isolated and against 99% of the population. Once it comes to this it will be clear to all where all that terrible clamouring of the media was coming from. From a squeaking of a mouse, magnified and multiplied. Wizard of Oz is all would be found there.

But here is a warning: Daoist way is a way of peace. Once people realise their true power, some of them sometimes become so proud and vengeful that it can often get out of hand and lead to war and destruction. The wisdom is in non-action and in undoing the wrong i.e. in peaceful transformation through love and forgiveness, not in hate and attack. So, it is equally important to share that message too!!

Can Chinese Medicine Treat Corona Virus (Part 3)

Meaningless solutions based on meaningless data

In our last blog we discussed Daoist approach to solving any problem and we said that the current world crisis supposedly caused by COVID 19 would not be an exception.

Let us now contrast that with the globally accepted approach to fixing it in order to understand it even better.

So, let’s start with a question: What if all the measures that are taking place in the world today are correct and the most appropriate ones, as highly praised by the mainstream media?

What if, on other hand, those same measures are meaningless, dangerous and devastating as massively expressed by the scientists, doctors and investigative journalists based on the overwhelming evidence and reported by the independent media (elaborated more in detail in our last blog)?

Well, it is quite obvious that so far, we the people, have placed full trust in our politicians’ and mainstream media’ hands and thus are passively agreeing that these measures are right. So, we are doing our best and diligently following their recommendations. Loyalty, discipline and total commitment is necessary to achieve a common goal and that indeed should be congratulated.

It is like with an army, which, in order to be affective and swift in action, each soldier has to be not only highly trained but very disciplined and strictly following the orders from above.

But, what if that highly trained and disciplined army is WRONG and sent to invade an independent, sovereign countiy and kill innocent people? All in the name of justice and defence! What if all our efforts are in vain because all those measures are wrong and will only make things worse? One does not need to be a genius to differentiate right from wrong. Here is an example:

Let’s pretend that COVID 19 is indeed caused by a virus that was never proven to be the case, that the test are not 80% false positive, that the disease indeed killed as many people as officially reported despite it never being proven… The worst possible scenario we are left with is that we would be plagued by a disease that kills less people than common flu and that almost all of them are either of very advanced age or have been suffering from other illnesses.

Let’s suppose too, that the measures taken by the world governments are right and that washing hands thoroughly, covering our faces, social distancing and self-isolation can indeed stop the spread of the disease. The best possible outcome we can expect is to stop the spread of a disease that is milder than flu while at the same time wrecking the world economy, leading to high rate unemployment and causing far more deaths from other illnesses, suicide and poverty.

And when that happens and all are out, desperate, hungry and emaciated, fighting for the last scrap of bread, the disease will quickly spread among them still! But the only way to stop the spread, according to Dr Media is to follow these measures - indefinitely!! Of course, they don’t say “indefinitely” because they know we would not accept it and would probably just ignore it and wreck their plan.

So they recommended a 14 days lockdown first. Then 14 days became a month. Then a month turned into months… And they keep reassuring us that it is working. So we listen and follow obediently. However how much brain does one need to realise that it is indefinitely because, if they stop these measures now, or at any other time, the disease (let’s call it FLU since it is much more appropriate) will spread as if nothing had been done.

How can you hope that these measures will be ever taken away when, according to them, there are almost 3 million confirmed cases now while they were spreading fear with a global pandemic when there were less than 300 cases in the whole world?

Yet they are quite confident it is all working just fine and encourage us to persevere because they rely on their team of experts - the celebrities!

Instead of true scientists and doctor specialists, who are dying to be heard in order for reason to take the place of insanity, it is them who, every five minutes, appear on our TV screens and tell us how to think and what to do.

Seemingly intelligent people are repeating, like parrots, same cliche phrases, over and over, while at the same time seemingly intelligent people that are watching them are nodding their heads and agreeing that they must be right. After all, some of them were acting doctors and other important people in TV series.

Mainstream media needs charismatic people who have no idea about what they are talking about. So they, very confidently, tell us how important it is to wash our hands properly. But even that is all wrong. They don’t tell us that washing hands for 20 seconds (or even for one hour) is useless unless we use special, hands-free, taps and clean our hands with sterile towel afterwards as well as stop touching things around us. [1]

In other words, if we touch anything, all that work is wrecked and we need to start again. And again, as soon as we touch anything, we need do it again. The solution: either we wash once then sit whole day with our hand up in the air and do nothing or keep washing our hands over and over again until the day it’s all over!

So, we’ve been told by our saviours, the celebrities, many valuable things e.g. to be RESPONSIBLE and to DO THE RIGHT THING, that these are TOUGH TIMES, CRAZY TIMES (spot on!), that SOME PEOPLE ARE PUTTING US ALL AT RISK but that WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS…

But not even all celebrities are dumb or greedy. The time has come when politicians are comedians and should not be taken seriously while the comedians make much sense and should be taken seriously.

Such as the great George Carlin who was not only highly entertaining but what he telling us for years is as relevant today as it ever was. When he talked about politicians and media and how they teach us how to think and what to do he would proudly say that he was “not a good American” because it was “not for me, I engage in thinking!” [2] [3]

And then there are those tests. Even if they meant anything, to say that someone is negative is meaningless unless he is tested again and again, day after day, month after month because the moment he finished the test he might contract the virus (or rather RNA sequence of the genetic material which could be anything). And since it is so flawed, one does not even need to contract anything, they vary so much that, according to some doctors, they can show positive results, then negative, then positive again. This has nothing to do with science!

And it is no better with the protective face masks and gloves. Not only that most masks people wear are useless but they should not even be worn for more than a couple of hours at a time. And gloves are useless unless they are regularly washed too (and properly, then no touching things, remember?) but they are neither designed to be washed nor protect anyone from anything. But it all looks so impressive and sounds so scientific when told by the celebs.

Doesn’t all this remind you of all the previous “wars” e.g. war on drugs, cancer, terror… proclaimed by the politicians which, in the end, all ended up with only more of it? The only difference is this one is lead by the media, heavily supported and orchestrated by the shadow rulers. And, due to the failure of all the previous ones, they decided not to call it a war. It just is!

The next logical step in their plan would most probably be to either keep pushing it as far as they can until they achieve their goal of ruling the world or, if opposition becomes too strong, to gradually ease the restrictions, learn the lessons for next time and proclaim the victory over the non-existent enemy. You see, our measures indeed have worked!!

And that “next time” is going to be far sooner than many realise. If this “horrible pandemic” finishes right now, it will be completely forgotten as soon as another one rolls around and everyone is glued to their TV screen panicking about a LAVID 21.

You cannot expect to hear from the mainstream media, who started it all, to tell you: ”We made it all up.” in order to finally wake up and be certain of the truth. Yet many are waiting exactly for that to happen.

To make things even more confusing, there are now these self-proclaimed “fact-checkers” on social media that are trying to turn truth into lies. However, since they only target genuine sites that threaten their lies, it is highly recommended to follow those sites. It is like a seal of approvement from the fact-checkers. They did they homework for us and we should thank them for that.

Remember that principle of yin and yang that says: “When yin reaches it’s peak, it turns into yang.”? As explained in our last blog, anything that we do can turn against us if we push it over the limit. Those who are using fear to divide us are obviously unaware of this law and are, unwittingly, working toward unifying us.

Once the critical mass is reached, all that they will achieve would be that they will divide themselves from us making it, for the first time in history, perfectly clear who was hiding behind the scenes all this time. And they themselves will indeed have a great cause for fear!

Remember the story of the Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini who was not very happy with the book The Satanic Verses so he offered 6 million dollars to anyone who would kill the author Salman Rushdie? Not only that it never happened (because Rushdie went into hiding) but, on the contrary, his insignificant book suddenly became a world bestseller while he became one of the most famous and celebrated writers of the nineties. Exactly the opposite of what Khomeini was hoping to achieve. [4]

So, in the end, it might not necessary be all that bad, as long as we learn our lesson well. What’s the lesson? Do not allow to be deceived over and over by the same people. Learn to search for the essence in all things, be aware of your own power, love and forgive and, above all, do nothing (stupid)!

True Values Lost In A World Of Illusions

Have you ever stopped to think about the true values in life? Such as, what comes first, what comes next and then what doesn’t really matter? Think about money, health, fame, but also about Coca-Cola and Arnold Schwarznegger. What would the order of importance be for you? Imagine that you are rich and famous, but you are dying of AIDS. Or have epilepsy, heart disease or Parkinson’s disease. Would you be happy? Oh, here it is. Did you forget the most important ingredient? The absolute number ONE. Regardless of age, sex and race. HAPPINESS! Isn’t that what we should all place at the very top of the list? But how do we achieve happiness? Is it something you can buy and keep with you forever? Or is it something that we all have (to some degree) but we become aware of it only after we lose it?

Most of us are too busy to create our own happiness, so instead we use our hard-earned money to go out there and purchase instant, disposable, happiness (in other words buying many short-lived pleasures) such as: watching a movie, buying a magazine, (not Qigong one of course - the kind with Meghan Markle on the front cover), go to a concert, or buy a latest gadget. Then we watch the news and sports before going to bed to be ready for work the next day. Let’s now stop for a moment and think about the real values in life. Let’s look at ourselves with alien eyes and analyse ourselves with the information that we gather.

For instance, we all get so excited when a strong tall guy runs faster than all the others by .04 of a second. The new world record!! It’s not 25.76 seconds anymore. From now on, it’s 25.72. Remember that figure, you will be using it many times to impress people around you. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are divorcing and we know every single detail. Princess Diana died. The same day a child in Nigeria starved to death, but that wasn’t important. They say Hugh Grant slept with a prostitute! Big Deal! Well it definitely was a big deal for some. The leading London gossip magazine paid for her return airfare plus a quarter of a million pounds for an exclusive interview. For who? For Us. That’s where it all starts and ends. Artificial happiness that we often resort to really makes happier (or rather - greedier) the creators more than us. We pay for it. It is all so wrong. The whole setup is upside down. Did you know that they would stop making bad movies only if we stopped watching them? Why do sports fans get so excited when a team that bought all the best players (in front of our very eyes) wins again? What is the real value of all that wealth of useless information that we remember? Well, probably to exchange with people who think the same and don’t know any better.

Let’s now for a moment forget about our traditional values and have a look at some Chinese traditional values. For example - Qigong. What is Qigong? We have already written a lot about it. “But why are some Qigong styles so expensive?” Every now and then we hear people asking us that question. It’s a bit like asking why this software program is so expensive when it can all fit on one DVD? Or Encyclopedia Britannica? They don’t know how many people worked on it, how much effort and knowledge was put into it and that some of the most advanced Qigong styles (as well as the computer programs) look fairly simple and are easiest to use.

The truth is, even the most expensive Qigong styles are often worth far more than the value given to them. Therefore, they are not expensive at all. This kind of thinking is purely a result of incorrect thinking caused by ignorance, so we won’t even answer it. We’ll just put things in perspective and you will find the answers yourself.

Did you ever ask yourself these questions:

• How much is life worth? 

• How much is happiness worth? 

• Freedom from disease? 

• Freedom from pain and suffering? 


Some people would pay millions to prolong their own lives or the lives of their loved ones, even if it was for just a few months. Qigong has saved many lives. There are numerous cases of people who resorted to Qigong after being given bleak prognosis’ or a life expectancy of only months and they completely recovered. How much is freedom from worry, sadness, fear? How much would you pay to have control over your own health (to a large degree), and not have to constantly depend on others - their time, good will (even mood) and somehow, it is always you taking responsibility if things go wrong (“Sign here” said the surgeon before the operation).

How much money do some people pay each year for health insurance that benefits them only if they get sick? Some of the most expensive Qigong styles that can treat and prevent a vast majority of common diseases, improve quality of life, as well as prolong it substantially, are still cheaper than only one year’s health insurance.

If you think it is OK to pay thousands of dollars to some specialist to refer you to another specialist or prescribe you some pills that can cause a (2 pages long) list of negative side effects to hopefully treat a symptom or two and, at the same time, you find it “far too dear” to pay several hundred dollars for one of the most powerful self-healing techniques in the world (and one of the safest at the same time) with the possibility to treat not one, but all your conditions, then there is something seriously wrong with your thinking.


Did you know that only until recently, some of the best styles of Qigong were secret and even if you came with diamonds and gold, the masters would not teach you? It was simply “not for sale”. Or some others, that were “for sale”, were charging exactly that much, just to show you one or two techniques at a time.

Even today when there are all these wonderful great styles available, think of how much it would be to go to China, find the most appropriate style among tens of thousands of them, find the right teacher, not be cheated by someone in the process (very often seen), be able to understand them (not only the language, but also the way they are thinking), etc. Sometimes, if not properly introduced, you might spend years of practicing a particular style only to find that it was not what you were looking for. Or even worse, after years of practicing you quit, thinking it’s not what you were looking for when, in fact, if you kept on going it would soon lead you there, but no one told you. They were cheap, but they did not instruct you properly.

Today, there are people in the west who have done all that for you, and they are sometimes only a five minute walk or a couple of hours drive away, offering their expertise for the benefits of you and your family. Not to mention that many are offering online tuition so no need to travel anywhere. And they often have a range of different Qigong styles in store. Some might be more expensive, but you may always try the more affordable ones. In the end, it all comes down to time and effort. Some expensive styles will give you more benefits within a couple of weeks of easy exercising than others that may show results after say a year’s full time commitment.

Now, if you haven’t found the answer to the above question yet, this might help: Treating disease is the least of what Qigong can help you achieve. It has a potential to do more good for you than all the specialists in the world, but in the Qigong scheme of things, it is just rough balancing of chi. After the disease has gone, comes the real practice where the fine tuning of energy takes place. Not only will you get back in touch with your body and nature but you may end up developing all kinds of psychic abilities as well. Qigong practice can open a whole new world to you. A world so real and so beautiful (that, by the way, has always been there but you never knew existed), however no-one ever showed you how to enter there. And only by experiencing it yourself can you start to really understand and appreciate the true values of Qigong.


If you are on a waiting list for an operation - do Qigong in the meantime. By the time it’s your turn you might not even need one.

Can’t fall pregnant? Want to go on the IVF Program? Before you go and sell the house to be able to afford it, try Qigong. You might end up with a house full of children.

Qigong - The Most Widely Used Form of Preventative Medicine in China

Did you know that we all possess incredible healing powers? The Chinese do - they call it Qigong. Based on the principles of Chinese medicine, Qigong (self-healing exercises) teaches us how to harness life energy (Qi or Chi) in order to treat and prevent all sorts of diseases, especially the chronic ones. It enables us to take control of our own health, thus freeing us not only from all kind of health problems but also from all kind of health practitioners. It safely takes care of all the body's organs, systems and functions and is even fun to practice!

Even though Qigong has been practiced for thousands of years, it has only been known of in China because of its remoteness from the rest of the world as well as due to its political isolation throughout history. However, even in China, many of the best styles of Qigong were, up until most recent times, kept secret and only known to a few.

Old China

In the old China, practitioners of Chinese medicine were actually being paid to prevent illnesses rather than to treat them. Once their client would become sick, the doctor would stop being paid. That made them search for the best possible preventative methods, including herbs, massage, healthy food, spiritual practices, Feng Shui, Tai Chi and so on. Among them, Qigong would often bring the best results.

New China

After going through numerous wars and revolutions in the last 200 years, China has fully recovered. Its economy, science, technology and arts are flourishing. Chinese medicine has established itself as a valuable part of their health care system, equaling western medicine in importance and being far preferred by many Chinese people.

Qigong too has become more established than ever before. Among the main reasons for its development would definitely be China’s political stability as well as improved living standards of the common people. The average person is now able to spend more time and money into their health and wellbeing. Another very important factor is because Qigong saves the Chinese government tens of billions of dollars every year that would otherwise be spent on hospitalisation, expensive treatments, rehabilitation programs, sick leaves and family support.

Modern Research

Amazing healing results achieved by practitioners of Qigong intrigued open minded Chinese scientists to conduct some research. It started soon after WWII, but it has been over the last 40 years that it has been implemented on a larger scale involving many respected scientific institutions with teams of experienced researchers, doctors, Qigong masters and millions of patients.

The end result - scientific proof that Qigong is beneficial in the treatment and prevention of hundreds of known diseases and even the formation of a completely new science called the "Science of Life" that has reached enormous proportions.

Benefits of Practicing Qigong

The benefits of practicing Qigong are many and varied. Not only can it treat and prevent numerous diseases (including the ones western medicine is still struggling with or can only help reduce the symptoms of) but it is good for reducing stress, combating addictions, improving circulation, sight, digestion, reducing the side effects of drugs to name a few. It is especially recommended to older people.

In science, every experiment covers a specific research target and tends to prove one point at a time. When these points are put together, the picture that is being painted become much clearer. In this scenario, indicating that Qigong is not only beneficial to the individuals who practice it, but to their families and to the rest of the society too. Let us see how:

A typical study would be to take a group of people of certain age, sex, profession and illness that practice Qigong for certain period of time. They are then compared to another similar group of people who do not practice it (the control group). After the collection of data and its careful analysis, conclusions are drawn and, as a rule, it would show, without exception, that those who regularly practice Qigong always end up with far better results. For example, their blood pressure, blood test, heart rate, liver function… would have either normal readings or much closer to normal values than of those in the control group.

Putting it into perspective, for an individual who lives a normal life and practices Qigong every day, it can make a big difference:

It can treat most illnesses they may suffer from. It can save them a fair bit of time and money, otherwise spent on doctors, tests, specialists, drugs, transport, while at the same time not being able to earn any money. Not to mention all the frustration, anger, pain, worry, waiting rooms etc. that often go along with all that. It does not even take into account the things like being incorrectly diagnosed, being prescribed wrong medications (and damage caused by that), side effect of drugs and unnecessary operations, which all far too often happen. But one of the biggest advantages of Qigong is that it gives them control over their own health. Enabling one to become actively involved in the process of healing their own illnesses and at the same time fully enjoying the whole experience is invaluable. And last but not least, the fact that Qigong has saved many lives and relieved many people from unbearable suffering is like adding icing on the cake.

Since Qi Gong can prevent many diseases, it can prevent a lot of the above from happening altogether. It boosts our energy levels, keeps us regular, improves our sleep and keeps us happy. Those are only some of the benefits experienced by individuals who practice it.

Now, how about their families? It's not hard to see in how many ways they end up benefiting too. How can they not be involved in their father's, mother's, sister's or children's disease? There is no less frustration, anxiety, worry, for the loved one(s) on their part too. Far too often they have to spend their own time and money, take days off work and so on. And it's pretty much the same with the community as a whole. There's a burden on the health care system, on the companies paying for sick leaves, insurance companies. The benefits of Qi Gong can be and are much bigger than one may realise at first.

Is Chinese Medicine As Good? Or Is It Better?



Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the fastest growing natural therapies in the world.  It was introduced to the west less than 30 years ago, but the number of practitioners and their patients is constantly on the increase.  Almost every suburb in Sydney has at least one clinic or Chinese herbal shop and some have dozens.  The number of books about TCM, magazine articles and TV programs dedicated to the subject is in its highest.  It has been taught at many universities and colleges, many offering postgraduate studies.

Wonderful!!  Australia and many other western countries seem to offer Chinese medicine practitioners ideal conditions for growth and development, you might think.  But, is it really so.  Let's check some facts.

Firstly, being foreign and new in the west, Chinese medicine was not recognised (and is still not) in most countries.  In other words, it had to compete with an established, recognised medical system that offers most treatments for free.

Secondly, even though Chinese medicine can treat many conditions that western medicine cannot (especially the chronic ones), in the west, its practitioners are not allowed to claim they can.  Why?  Because medical laws are written by doctors and since they are incapable of treating (what they term) "incurable" conditions, they prohibit anybody else to claim they can.

Thirdly, some very good herbs are banned from being imported into countries like Australia or are restricted to doctors only to prescribe, under the pretext that they are toxic (which if they are, Chinese medicine practitioners are more qualified to use safely because it is their medicine).

Fourthly, it is a well-known fact that western medicine has many side effects and that only in Australia, about 4,500 people die each year as a result of doctors' mistakes*.  In a country like Australia with a tiny population of only 25 million it is not criminal, it is slaughter!

At the same time, some 150,000 patients get other mild to severe injuries and disabilities** (while they proudly say it is a "pretty good record" compared to many other western countries).  On the other hand, there is hardly anyone dying from Chinese medicine in the world, but if anyone ever experienced anything bad from using it, that becomes top news in the media and then new, tougher laws are introduced immediately to “protect the public” from danger.  These new laws would normally limit the TCM practitioners' freedom and enable doctors and western medical administration to have more control over Chinese medicine.  If it wasn't sad, it would be funny.

What's even more amazing is the fact that doctors are so well protected and backed by the system that, despite all the above, are still able to carry on their practice as if nothing happened.

And finally, many good practitioners of Chinese medicine can't even speak proper English while the western medical army of experts (doctors, lawyers, graphic designers, writers, IT people) promote their services on a large scale and, supported by huge drug companies, advertise their miraculous pills on TV, radio and in popular magazines.

We wouldn't refer to the above as "ideal conditions" for development of anything.  The only reason Chinese medicine is going the way it is, is because it has a lot to offer and in many ways it is better than western medicine.  Not "as good" but "better", because if it is only "as good" nobody would pay from their own pockets for something of equal value that they can get for free in any of the conveniently located, bright and shiny buildings known as medical centres and pharmacies, where everything can be explained to them in clear English and packaged nicely.
