Good Health is our Birthright
by Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit
Illness is an unnatural state
Good
health is our birth-right. We are by nature healthy. In this
webpage I shall share with you my knowledge and experience
as a chi kung grandmaster in helping literally hundreds of
people to be healthy. Many of these people were chronically
ill before.
As
we are by nature healthy, illness is an unnatural state. This
means that illness, any illness, is temporary and can be rectified.
Understandably, to those who have been ill for a long time
and have been used to the idea that their illness is "incurable",
this claim may sound outlandish, or, more positively, too
good to be true.
I can assure you that this
claim is true, and is made earnestly, substantiated not only
by sound medical philosophy but also by hundreds of actual
case histories. To comprehend the truth of this claim, you
have first of all to realize that the conventional Western
medical paradigm of looking at health and illness is not necessarily
the only correct way.
Another way is to use the
traditional Chinese medical paradigm, which actually has maintained
the health and sanity of the largest population of the world
for the longest period of known history. In case someone thinks
that traditional Chinese medicine is primitive or unscientific,
he or she may derive some inspiration from the fact that at
a time barely three hundred years ago when Western medicine
employed cupping and bloodletting to treat virtually all diseases
and confined the psychologically ill to asylums as possessed
by spirits, the Chinese had been treating physical and psychological
illness successfully for more than thirty centuries!
It is categorically stated
here that this webpage is never meant to undermine conventional
Western medicine. Personally, I believe that conventional
Western medicine has, and will continue to have, an essential
role in modern societies, and in many cases conventional Western
medical treatment is more effective than traditional Chinese
one.
The main aim of this webpage
is to provide authentic information, which may not be easily
available in the West due to linguistic, cultural and other
reasons, on how and why many so-called "incurable"
diseases like asthma, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes,
kidney problems, maniac-depression, nervousness and sexual
inadequacy can be cured by practicing chi kung. This can be
easily and logically explained using the Chinese medical paradigm.
Every disease can be cured
According to Chinese medical
philosophy, there is no such a thing as an incurable disease,
although a patient may be incurable if his illness, even a
simple one, has done damage beyond a certain threshold. Every
disease can be cured because we are by nature healthy.
Even a few minutes of reflection
will reveal that this premise is true. Think of the millions
of deadly germs that are around and inside you; think of the
wear and tear that is constantly going on in your body; and
think of the continual stress that affects your psyche. Yet
you are not normally sick -- if your natural systems are working
the way they should.
The Chinese figuratively
describe this natural working of your bodily and mental systems
as harmonious chi flow. For example, your chi is said to be
harmonius when it::
- provides the necessary information to all parts of
your body (and mind)...
- produces just the right types and amounts of chemicals
at just the right times...
- provides the right defence and immunity when needed...
- repairs all your worn out or damaged parts...
- disposes off toxic waste and negative emotions harmful
to you...
- carries out countless other activities that keep you
healthy and alive
The
Chinese also symbolize this healthy interaction between the
body's natural systems and all disease-causing factors as
yin-yang harmony, yin representing the body's functions and
yang the pathogenetic agents.
Sickness is unnatural; it
occurs, as it sometimes does, when certain parts of the body
fail in their natural functions. For example...
- if your energy flow fails to meet and overcome invading
germs...
- if it fails to repair cell or issue damage satisfactorily...
- if it fails to flush out negative emotions adequately...
...you would be respectively
infectiously, degeneratively or psychologically sick. The
Chinese describe this sick condition, which is unnatural and
temporary, as yin-yang disharmony.
There are countless immediate
causes for this yin-yang disharmony, but the root cause may
be generalized into two main categories, namely
- Insufficient energy to work the systems
- Energy blockage hindering energy to flow to where it
is needed.
If you do not have sufficient
antibodies to fight invading germs, for example, or if your
mental impulses commanding repair work are disrupted, or if
your negative emotions are trapped inside your body -- all
of which manifest disharmonious energy flow -- you would be
sick.
Health can be regained if
you restore your yin-yang harmony. There are many different
approaches, such as employing herbs, acupuncture, massage
therapy, external medicine and chi kung, but the two fundamental
tasks are
- To remove energy blockage
- To increase energy level.
The forte of chi kung is
to clear energy blockage and to increase energy level. Chi
kung, spelt as "qigong" in Romanized Chinese, is
the art of developing energy, particularly for attaining health,
vitality, longevity, mental freshness and inner peace.
