Testimonial Highlight: Successful Recovery from Near-Death Chemo Aftereffects

“In Sept, ’08, I was diagnosed with Stage 4B tonsilar cancer. Treatment began at a major cancer center at the end of October. I underwent 33 radiation treatments and 6 days of chemo. My cancer was cured and I will always be thankful for that but the aftereffects of treatment left me completely debilitated. I was a shell of my former self. I had lost 50 pounds, and I had no strength, no ability to relate, no interest in relating or participating in life in anyway. I knew it would take time. However, my recovery was compromised by 4 aspiration pneumonias, three of which almost killed me.

My wife decided it was time for me to see Master Hou. I began seeing Master Hou twice weekly in June, ’09. I will admit that I was doubtful of this “alternative” approach to Western medicine but I’m no longer doubtful. I feel vigorous, alert, more interested in life and much, much stronger. I have made it 5 months now with no reoccurrence of aspiration pneumonia.

In addition, the range of motion in my neck and upper body was seriously compromised by the radiation. I suffered neck spasms so severe that my head was almost immobile. Master Hou has helped this significantly.

I have not eaten by mouth for more than a year due to the scar tissue caused by the radiation. With Master Hou’s help, I’m optimistic that I will regain at least partial functioning of these muscles.

Master Hou is a passionate and dedicated healer who also happens to have a great sense of humor. It is a pleasure working with him.”

Peanut Allergy

My son, Jake Schlessinger is 17 years old and has a life threatening food allergy to peanuts. Ingesting s little as 1/16th of a peanut can cause severe respiratory distress ; smelling the scent can cause wheezing; and touching a peanut can cause large body hives. About 1 year ago I started bringing him in for once a week for treatments that would help build his immune system. After about 6 months of treatments you asked me to bring in peanuts because you wanted to do a test.Much to my amazement you had Jake smell and hold peanuts with no reaction. I could not believe what I witnessed. You explained to me that this test proved that Jake’s body has the ability to overcome this allergy and that continued treatments, 1x month for about 2 years, would further build his immune system that in turn would offer protection against this allergy and other illnesses. I would never have believed that this happened had I not witnessed this with my own eyes. Thank you for giving us hope and a chance for Jake to live a life without the fear dying from accidentally eating peanuts. Sincerely, The Schlessinger’s 3/09.

Heart Palpitations, Menopause

I writing this letter to say thank you for helping to cure my heart palpitations that were caused by menopause. I was amazed that within 3-4 treatments they were gone and in addition, I felt amazing. When I first came to see you I didn’t know that much about qigong and energy healing. I’m now a student of your style of gigong and combined with drinking your wonderful green tea I ‘ve never felt more healthy, alert and relaxed in my life.. I feel lucky to have you as both a teacher and doctor. I believe that Traditional Chinese Medicine and your style gigong holds the key that unlocks the mysteries of the human body and mind. Thank You, Maryfran Schlessinger 3/09.

High Blood Pressure, Cysts in Uterus, Headaches, Muscle Pains

QiGong Exercise and Fasting Testimonial – Lois Z. – 4/11/04

I’m 51 years old, and until recently, I considered myself to be aging healthfully. As a young person in the ‘70’s, I became conscious of the connection between diet and health and developed the habit of eating mostly vegetarian foods with lots of vegetables, fruits, grains, and soy. I exercised regularly, too, by walking a lot, riding a bike, and, later, by joining a gym.
Despite my best efforts, in 1999, after a spontaneous nosebleed, I went to my doctor who informed me that I had high blood pressure. My readings, which were normally low, were now spiking to numbers as high as 154/96. Because my doctor suspected a kidney problem, I saw a nephrologist whose tests revealed that I had protein and blood in my urine. Rather than start any treatment right away, we decided on periodic lab tests to see if my situation would improve or worsen. I would also check and record my blood pressure often.
Shortly thereafter, during a routine visit to the gynecologist, I discovered that I had a large cyst in my uterus. The doctor recommended a hysterectomy—he also wanted to removed my ovaries as an added precaution against cancer—speaking in a matter-of-fact tone of voice, as if this was nothing to be concerned about. I was taken aback at the doctor’s attitude, especially when he was trying to assure me that the operation would enhance my life; I just sat there agape. I knew then and there that I had some serious health concerns that needed correcting. I wanted to do so without medications and without being cut open.
It was then that I decided to take Master Hou’s workshop to see if his QiGong exercises could improve my health. At the introductory session, I learned a few exercises and immediately felt a greater sense of calm and energy. I signed up for classes three years ago and have been attending ever since. Through daily practice (20-30 minutes), I experience numerous benefits. In addition to greater mental clarity and focus, I no longer have the aches and pains that I used to feel in my muscles upon awakening. After a few minutes of QiGong, I feel comfortable in my body again. Also, I used to experience occasional debilitating neck and headache pain from a whiplash injury incurred several years ago. Since beginning QiGong, I no longer experience any degree of that discomfort. In addition, I have learned how to focus energy to help relieve others’ pain and have used this on occasion with success.
To amplify progress, I have taken Master Hou’s fasting class five times nad plan to continue doing so. So far my cyst remains at its previous size. Since it is not enlarging and I am symptom free, I will not seek surgery as an intervention but continue to get healthier through Qigong exercises and fasting. My blood pressure returned to its normally low levels, in the range of 120/80 for the longest time. Recently, it is spiking again and I am keeping an eye on it. Over time, my lab tests have shown improvement in my total urine protein. On the latest reading, the numbers were nearly normal.
QiGong exercises are self-motivating. I feel good doing them and better afterwards. I do not know if QiGong will help all my health issues, as high blood pressure is a hereditary problem in my family. Then again, it might make a difference. Only time will tell. In the meantime, I will continue to practice daily,a nd feel confident that inherent weaknesses will slow down as my overall health improves through Matser Hou’s QiGong exercises.

Prostate Problems

Master FaXiang Hou

I first met Master Hou when I was shown a videotape he had produced. A short time later I developed a prostate problem. As I had previously had a prostate problem and cancer, I was very concerned. I made an appointment with Master Hou and after only two treatments the problem ceased. That was over one year ago. I still have no trouble.

I have attended several of Master Hou’s seminars and QiGong classes. Since I have worked with several QiGong Master and Instructors I can say he is the best I have ever had. Through his classes, treatments, and seminars and a devote practice, I feel in good health and have no problems.

When Master Hou introduced his Herbal Energy Bath I tried it as I had a lot of moles and blotches on my body which happens when you reach old age. Most of these have dried up or cleared up all together.

Depression Exhaustion

Personal Testimonial of the Effects of practicing Ching Loong San Dian Xue Mi Gong Fa

Henrique T.

For many years I was suffering from physical exhaustion. A trip to the supermarket was enough to wear me out. After shopping and returning home, I would have to rest before being able to put my groceries away. My workdays in the office were tortuous, struggling to keep my eyelids from closing and fighting off the need for sleep.

Western medicine found nothing wrong with me. My own doctor told me I was just depressed. I knew better.

I began practicing different forms of QiGong as well as getting weekly acupuncture treatments and drinking all sorts of really bad tasting Chinese herbs. These helped me and allowed me to manage, in a very substandard way, on a day to day basis. Weekends were for sleeping to recover from the previous week and give me some strength to manage the week to follow.

Literally tired of living, I continued my search for a cure. The cure was brought to me by Matser FaXiang Hou. In a few weeks of practicing his style of QiGong and going for a few bodywork sessions with him I was like a new person. Every once in a while in the beginning, I would slump back to the tiredness for a day and then recover. Shortly thereafter, that stopped too.

Looking back to my life before practicing Master Hou’s QiGong, I cannot believe how I used to function. Not only have I recovered from my mysterious illness, but I rarely get sick! When everyone around me is catching colds or the flu, I don’t. If I do catch something, it runs through my body really fast, even in the same day!

I highly recommend this system to anyone who is looking for good health and good quality of life. Thank you, Master Hou!

Fasting Benefits, Increased Concentration and More

January 15, 1999

Dear Master Hou,

Thank you so much for the fasting class. I took your advice, at a couple of bananas, and continued the fast until Saturday night. Since then, I have been on a macrobiotic diet (something I have never done before) and have been doing my QiGong exercises every day. I am amazed at how much energy I have, how healthy I feel, how much clearer my thoughts are, and how much more concentration I have. I feel like the person I used to be years ago. Since I have not changed anything else (I still don’t sleep or exercise enough and still work at a stressful job), there is no doubt that the fast is the cause of my reawakening.

Thanks again.

Aplastic Anemia (Degenerative Bone Marrow Condition)

August 1999

In 1995 I was diagnosed with a degenerative bone marrow condition called Aplastic Anemia. The condition is life threatening and usually requires a bone marrow transplant. I was in college at the time and, of course, taken by complete surprise. When I visited Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, the lead specialist said, “There is nothing you can do except to wait until you need a transplant.” I was depressed by this and sought a second opinion from a hematologist at John Hopkins University. He said the same thing. For three years my blood consistently weakened.

In August of 1998, I was at a crisis point. My blood levels had dropped dangerously low and I was facing an imminent transplant. Now a graduate student, I asked a doctor friend at Columbia University if she had any advice and she put me in touch with Master FaXiang Hou, practitioner of QiGong. I was skeptical of non-Western practices, but I had no alternative and I agreed to see Master Hou. After five weeks of treatment, my blood levels had increased 30%, an unparalleled gain. I was dramatically invigorated by his treatment sessions. Since then, my blood levels have plateaued and I have begun studying Master Hou’s exercise methods. For a year, my decline in health has been reversed. Master Hou has enabled me to continue working and he has helped me to eliminate the pervasive stress that stemmed from the condition. My current doctors at Sloane Kettering Hospital are very pleased with the results. I am planning on maintaining the gain that his treatments have given me by learning his unique form of QiGong exercise. Master Hou has a special power to encourage and direct healing. If you are challenged by any medical condition, I highly recommend his sophisticated program of treatment.

Master Hou,

In the new year, I will be in Seattle for a bone marrow transplant. The procedure will take some months and I plan on living there until next summer. My family should be keeping you up to date on my progress.

I am writing to thank you for the incredible work you have done for me. You are a true physician and a remarkable adept.

To find a teacher, like yourself, is a huge blessing. I’ll be thinking of your humor and skill this winter and I am grateful for knowing you.

With love,

Jesse S.
