The following is taken from a letter written by Emiko to Grandmaster Wong on June 2, 2005:

Emiko now teaches Chi Kung
& Kung Fu in Canada and Japan

I have benefited tremendously from being your student and would like, today, to write of my recent, life-changing experiences surrounding the event of my surgery on April 20, 2005. I have waited this long to write this letter because I wished to first have a copy of the OR reports (Surgical Pathological Reports) in order to be able to quote directly from the doctors’ medical notes. Thank you for your patience.

A Brief Review of My Medical (Personal) History

I was diagnosed with Endometriosis ten years ago when I was 23 and now I don't have it anymore. Here is my story below:

• In 1995, I was diagnosed with a debilitating disease called Endometriosis.
• On October 6, 1995, I had laparoscopic surgery and was post-operatively diagnosed as having Stage III Endometriosis and Uterine Fibroids.
• Subsequent to surgery, I underwent different kinds of treatment, including: Zoladex (similar to Lupron), and the birth control pill.
• I also tried acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.
• In October 2000, due to increasing pain, I went to see one of Toronto's foremost gynecologists, Dr. Kay Lie. He is well-known as an expert on Endometriosis and laparoscopic surgery.
• Blood tests revealed that I was also suffering from Hypothyroidism.
• All three chronic disorders are considered incurable by western medicine.
• However, I also heard from Dr. Lie that his wife, Mrs. Jean Lie, who had previously had Endometriosis, had succeeded in ridding herself of pain through the practice of a Chinese energy art called "Cosmos Chi Kung".
• Hearing that Mrs. Lie had found a way to free herself of pain from Endometriosis gave me strong incentive and hope.
• In December 2000, I flew to Malaysia and learnt Cosmos Chi Kung and Shaolin Kungfu from world-renowned Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit. I was told that if I practiced exactly in the manner in which I had been instructed, without fail, that I would be cured of Endometriosis within one year (by December 2001).
• I believed him and did the practice exactly as I was told.
• In February 2001, blood tests revealed that I no longer had Hypothyroidism.
• In July 2001, the symptoms of Endometriosis completely disappeared.
• In September 2003, ultrasound reports showed that the Uterine Fibroids had grown. I was booked for surgery at the end of January 2004.
• In October 2003, I flew down to Boston to learn about Macrobiotics.
• I began to incorporate more chi kung principles into the diet.
• The diet and chi kung proved to have beneficial effects: in subsequent ultrasounds there was little or no growth of the fibroids.
• Due to my lifestyle and certain extenuating circumstances, I was not able to maintain the diet. The fibroids began to grow again at a rapid rate.
• On April 20, 2005, I underwent a laparotomy and had all of the fibroids removed.
• Post-surgery, I was informed by Dr. Grace Liu (my surgeon) and other attending doctors that, during the surgery, search as they might, they had been unable to find the presence of Endometriosis. Though I had not suffered any pain since July 2001, it was expected that scar tissue and remains of the disease would still be visible. Apparently, there was not a trace of it any where.
• I am now the first documented “case study” showing irrefutable evidence that a person can be fully cured from Endometriosis (as opposed to an anecdotal story).
• This may be the first time that doctors have the evidence to show that Endometriosis is a curable disease.
• This ground-breaking news has already been communicated by Dr. Kay Lie to Mary Lou Ballweg, the President of the World Endometriosis Association (Milwaukee).

Endometriosis

The following subsections are all quoted from an informative text called "Coping with Endometriosis" by Robert H. Phillips, Ph.D., and Glenda Motta, R.N.

What is Endometriosis?

“Endometriosis is one of the most prevalent gynecological disorders, affecting millions of women and girls around the world. The incidence of endometriosis diagnoses is on the rise, and we can no longer afford to treat the disease as an insignificant issue. Endometriosis can result in incapacitating pain, infertility, and repeated surgeries, and can render a woman or girl unable to go about her normal routine. This disease affects not only the patient, but also everyone around her…Dr. Von Rokitansky first detailed the disease in 1860.”

“Endometriosis is a chronic disease of a woman’s or teenage girl’s reproductive and immune systems. Patches of endometrial tissue – similar to the tissue normally found only in the endometrium, the lining of the uterus – grow outside the uterus (the womb). This tissue develops into different types of “growths”, also called “implants,” “nodules,” or “cysts,” which can cause pain, bleeding, infertility, problems with your bowel or bladder, many other symptoms or changes.”

Who gets Endometriosis?

“Endometriosis affects women and teenage girls of all races all over the world. Endometrial tissue has been found in autopsies of infants, premenstrual adolescents, posthysterectomy, and postmenopausal women (even in five men!), but generally occurs in women who are having menstrual periods…age at diagnosis ranges from the midteens to the forties.

"Endometriosis affects more women than breast cancer. The average delay from the beginning of symptoms to diagnosis of the disease is over nine years. The disease is often confused with pelvic inflammatory disease, bladder infections, irritable bowel syndrome, and a multitude of other conditions. This means millions of women and girls suffer needlessly and treatment is delayed.”

What causes Endometriosis?

“Despite the number of theories as to the cause of endometriosis, none seem to account for all cases.”

What are the symptoms of Endometriosis?

“For the most part the symptoms of endometriosis can be divided into the following main categories: pain, fatigue, bowel and bladder complications, heavy or irregular bleeding, and fertility problems.”

“In addition…women with endometriosis can experience dizziness, migraine headaches, low back pain, poor resistance to infections, extensive allergies, chemical sensitivities, vaginal discharge between periods, yeast infections, and low-grade fever.”

What is the Prognosis of Western Medical Experts?

“Endometriosis is a chronic disease with no cure at the present time, which means that it can last as long as you are alive. New data from the world’s largest research registry on endometriosis show that women with endometriosis and their families have a heightened risk of breast cancer, melanoma, and ovarian cancer. There is also a greater risk of non-Hodgkins lymphoma in these families and a significantly higher incidence of diabetes, thyroid disorders, and other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and Ménière’s disease….Serious problems with endometriosis occur when it has a destructive effect on important internal organs.” (20)

Medical Findings: Irrefutable Evidence that Endometriosis is a Curable Disease

Report 1 – Diagnosed with Endometriosis

Location: North York Branson Hospital
Service Date: Oct. 6, 1995

Quoted from Inpatient Operative Report:

"It was apparent that there was hemochromatic material scattered throughout the pelvis. There was a cystic structure on the left ovary. Foci of endometriosis was seen on the right ovary and also in the pouch of Douglas. The area was irrigated and we then grasped the ovary and incised through the cortex attempting to find a plane whereby we could remove the cyst, however, we ruptured into the cyst and it began to leak chocolate material. We irrigated and flushed this area clean…and amputated the cystic portion of the ovary leaving behind a good third to half of normal ovarian tissue on the left side.

We…coagulated the foci of endometriosis on the right ovary and also a few independent foci seen throughout the pelvic basin but there was a lot of brownish golden staining over the bladder peritoneum from presumed leakage of this endometrioma…Final Diagnosis: 1. Endometrioma, left ovary 2. Disseminated Endometriosis (This would be Stage 3 endometriosis)."

Report(s) 2 -- Diagnosed without Endometriosis

Location: Sunnybrook & Women’s College, Health Sciences Centre, Women’s College Campus
Service Date: Apr. 20, 2005

Quoted from Inpatient Operative Report:

"Examination revealed normal tubes and ovaries. There was no evidence of endometriosis in the cul de sacs, ovaries or other areas…"

Quoted from Surgical Pathology Consultation Report:

"Diagnosis: Tissue from uterus: - uterine leiomyoma (see comment)… Comment: Multiple sections are examined…These show the presence of a leiomyoma which shows no significant abnormality microscopically…the case would still be regarded as clearly benign with no potential for malignant activity."

N.B. Had there been endometrial tissue present, the pathology report would have included this information in its findings. The fact that the doctor only makes mention of the myomas (fibroids) is further proof of the fact that the endometriosis is completely gone.
