Healings - Frequently Asked Questions

Healings - Frequently Asked Questions

I am a part time Tuina / Acupressure / Qigong therapist cum instructor, blogger, Youtube partner and etc. Should you require any help please feel free to contact me.

I wish to stress that while I do possess some special healing abilities, I am neither a doctor nor God. I can heal lots of illness that a doctor/ medical specialist claimed incurable. Similarly the doctor can operate on patients which I definitely have not and would not try. 

What I do is not magic but based on five thousands of years of trials and errors (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Most people does not realize that Edison in making the simple light bulb had 10,000 trials and errors (10,000 ways that does not work). Lot of people get the wrong ideas about TCM thinking it is some witch doctor stuffs. Evidently, I have cured people from overseas as well as locals. 

When I was growing up (around 15 years old), whenever I feel weak or lethagic, I would do all kind of exercises just to make myself sweat. Strangely enough, when I started to sweat, the illness disappeared and I was back to normal. As I learn more about healings, TCM and etc, I realize that my trials and errors make me analyze each situation more thoroughly and learn from mistakes.


Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between Western medicine and Eastern medicine?
Answer :
Western medicine treats illness from physical evidence of symptoms. For instance, if you have fever, then the medicine will be panadol and etc. It seldom look at the source of the problem. Eastern medicine look at the source as they were around for thousands of years. Using the same example, the Chinese or Indian physician would find the source of the problem to be unwittingly absorbing the sunlight (Yang Chi/ Bio-magnetism). The remedy is to decrease the Yang Chi by the use of massage with herbal oil, acupuncture, acupressure, herbal remedy or a combination of the above. The point is as long as the person sweats the fever will be gone (even if you do not use any medicine). When you sweat the heat is released causing the fever to go down. Therefore drinking lots of warm water will definitely help. 



2) What is Chi ?
Answer :
To the person in the East, the concept of chi /prana / life force/ bio-magnetism is nothing new as it has been in existence for thousands of years. These kind of things can make a western minded person nervous (unless he/she learn and experience it). Normal people cannot see or feel energy, as clearly as those who have undergone the necessary training or those who are born with the ability. If we have never heard of ABC how the hell would we be able to read or write in English. Similarly, if our mind have never being conditioned, we would not be able to perform any kind of visualization or meditation. Some people give the impression that such things are sacred and mysterious. If magician do not practice their hands regularly, their acts would easily being seen through by the audiences. If we do not practice the mind, the mind will not be able to respond to our instruction. 

Chi is the Chinese term loosely used for all kind of energy and breath. Prana is the Indian word for life force or energy. Bio-magnetism is used by Simplified Kundalini Yoga as similar to chi in many aspects. Basically they refer to the same thing. Chi is in abundant everywhere around and inside us. For instance we breathe in Chi all the time without even realizing it. It is in everything (anything living and dead). The walls of our bedroom absorb the chi from sunlight and they have chi in it even though it is not a living thing. Even corpses while decaying have chi in it. When we walk in the hot sun, the energy from the sun is automatically absorbed by our body. We have no control over it unless we can bar the absorption of chi. Masters highly skilled in chi might be able to feel the influx of negative chi but to shut oneself from the chi requires a higher degree of Chi manipulation/ competency. Similarly, if we mingle in a crowd, our chi will mingle and we absorbed each others’ chi. In winter or in cold weather, we automatically absorb Yin Chi. We needs Chi to survive. The generally held belief is that the more Chi one has, the more powerful one becomes. Many people would ask me to donate Chi to them. I would always reply that I can give them Chi but they might not be able to cope with it. Each of us have our equilibrium and optimum Chi level, above or below which, we might become unwell. Too much or too little Chi will make us become sick. Those familiar with Kundalini Yoga will know the ascent of the imaginary serpent from the base of the spine to the crown chakra can be far more dangerous (for certain people)than is revealed. I had nose bleeding and fever for several years despite taking young coconut water and Chinese herbal medicine (Wong lo Kat) every day.

3) What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Answer:
Chinese medicine has been in existence for thousands of years. Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the Viscera a general term for the internal organs (zhang fu). There are five yin viscera (zhang) and six yang viscera (fu). The five yin viscera are heart, lung, liver, spleen and kidney. The six yang viscera are gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder and triple warmer. The viscera are linked by meridian points (nadi for Indian) to help the body function. The Five Yin Viscera main characteristics are to generate and store chi. The Six Yang Viscera main characteristics are to receive and transport food and waste.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system of healing based on Viscera incorporating the Five Element theory, Yin and Yang theory and the concept of Chi. In so doing we build up our immune system and become less prone to illness. 

4) Why do people get ill?
Answer:
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a person’s Chi of both yin and yang must be in equilibrium in order for him or her to stay healthy. If a person has too much Yang Chi (heat), he/she is short of Yin Chi (such as when a person has fever). The opposite can also happen (such as when a person got cold). At times, our body releases too much yang chi, could not sustain it, causing the fever to change into a cold and vice versa. At certain time our body produce certain type of chi and therefore affects our health when the chi is not in equilibrium. For instance, you might feel totally healthy in the morning and take a walk in the blazing sun. All of a sudden you feel heated up and have a headache. The reason is that you have unwittingly absorbed too much yang chi from the sun. The chi moves to the head causing headache and fever. You need to release the excess chi or you will fall ill. Similarly when a person is overcome by emotions when visiting the graves of a loved one, the environment on a say raining day can cause us to fall sick due to too much Yin Chi.

5) What are the kind of illness you can heal?
Answer:
I have the ability to heal all kind of illness, many of which the western medicine does not have a cure. Many were on pain killers before before they were treated by me. Most of them are free from pain killers.

The following are some of the illness which I have no problem healing:
a) Not enough chi
Some people do not take care of their body especially when engaging in sex. Strenuous sex can cause either person to lose too much vital fluid. I have cured an Indian man in his mid twenties who was a friend of my house mate in 1987. He wore 4 layers of clothing and yet he was still shivering. His whole body was cold.

b) Too much chi
Some people think having the more Chi the better you are. People take lots of Ginsengs and exotic meats will have lots of Chi. A sudden surge of Chi is not good. Everyone have his/her own optimum Chi level above or below which he/she might become ill. Similarly if you walk in the hot sun you will absorb lot of Chi from it causing you to feel unwell. Of course if you are very weak on Yang Chi, some sunlight, ginseng and etc might actually be good for you. 

c) Headache and migraine
The Chi rushed to the head causing headache and migraine due to stress, environmentally absorbed chi and etc. It is common everyday happening. You absorbed the sunlight from the sun. This can caused you to have a fever or headache. Similarly you can a flu or cold due to the chilling temperature.

d)  Blocked chi or blood circulation causing pain and unable to move affected areas
Frequently we cannot move a certain part of our body due to injury whether knowingly or unknowingly. The area become bruised and the blood and chi cannot pass through. It is not paralyzed just blocked circulation. Once the circulations have become smooth, the part of the body become normal again. My former Chairman from Ipoh complained that he cannot lift his hand high. After an hour of massaging the hands, triple warmer, shoulder and the meridian points involved, he was able to lift his hand highly again. In another case a fellow Chi Kung student told me her mother could not sleep for 3 nights and seek my help. She did not know why or how her shoulder suddenly has a swelling which was painful on even a slight touch. Earlier that day she had even gone to a medical clinic for treatment without any success. I massage her hands, triple warmer and the back of her shoulders and the meridian points involved. I did not touch the swelling until I have managed to get her blood and Chi circulation moving correctly. After that she does not feel much pain as the swelling also receded. On further probing I was able to pinpoint her problem as sleeping on that particular side of the shoulder. The blood and Chi get blocked causing the swelling and pain. No wonder she could not sleep. Of course there are people who met with an accident and have problem using either or both limbs. Sometime it is more psychological than the actual situation. For instance, if a person has lost the will power and is really down, he or she will not bother to exercise and therefore resulting in the limbs getting weaker. No amount of healing will make him or her healed in such situation. The onus is on the person to bravely face life and start living again.

e)   Cold
Too much Yin Chi (Cold Chi) and lack of Yang Chi (Hot Chi). When a person get a cold it is almost certain that she would need to get more Yang Chi to offset the Yin Chi. Here we need to reduce the Yin Chi and increase the Yang Chi to get back to the equilibrium point. In the earlier example in (a) above, once the Yang Chi move in, the person does not require to wear four layers of clothing. The heat returns to the body.

f)    Fever
Too much Yang Chi (Hot Chi) and lack of Yin Chi (Cold Chi). Similarly, when there is too much Yang Chi we will need to increase the Yin Chi and reduce the Yang Chi. If we stand in the sun for awhile, we might unknowingly absorbed Yang Chi from the sun. With the Chi around your head, it would be reasonable to expect you to feel unwell.

g) Backache
Caused by using or bending the back such as lifting up things too high or heavy and etc. A used car dealer neighbor claimed he was paying a Chinese Healer RM5,000.00 to learn healing and hypnotism. This person has some serious back problem which I have successfully healed several weeks earlier. He picked up another back problem while holidaying with his family. He seek treatment from his master that operate a massage clinic. However, he was bed bound and unable to move after the treatment. He asked a neighbor to locate me. He was asking if someone could shoot him dead as the pain was unbearable to him. After about 2 hours of treatment he was able to turn around without pain.

h)  Sprained limbs
Over use of certain part of the limbs. Sometimes when we lift heavy objects we strained our limbs. It is also possible to sprained it while walking. For instance, an employee of mine sprained his ankle while doing some work. The next day he complained that it was painful and bruised. There was also swelling around the ankle. I took about half an hour to treat him providing almost instant relief. The swelling took a day to go down.

i)    Ear ringing
Too much Chi in the ear causing the hearing of sounds. Most of us can hear some sound when it is quiet at night. Some people will think other people are placing spells on them. Here we can release the energy at the head and ears (including the meridian points around them) to decrease the sound. Otherwise it is a normal phenomenal and if we leave it alone the sound will go off by itself. I have successfully cured many patient with this problem with just one to three treatments. Tinnitus is incurable according to doctors. The doctors can only prescribe pain killers so that you can sleep. 

j)  Problems arising from meditation
When the chakras (energy centre) are activated, some people have all kinds of reactions. There are people who become unstable as a result. Those who learn kundalini yoga and get the dormant serpent coiled at the base of the spine activated will be able to feel a surge of energy going to the crown chakra. In extreme cases, he/she lost the ability to control the energy resulting in migraine, nose bleeding and high fever. If want to know more on meditation problems, please click here.

k)  Cold limbs
This can be together with back pain or on its own. I was talking to a client in his office. Suddenly he stand up and started flicking his hands vigorously and holding his back in pain. I actually gave him the address of one master nearby. One of his staff asked me if I could do something for her boss. I just ask the client to lie down on a bench and do some qi massage at his backs, fingers, hands, shoulders and head. I also warm up his hands with my chi. Within 10 minutes he was healed.      

l)  Lung problems
This will be where people have difficulty in breathing properly. Many time people will say they have a heart problem. The heart is actually on the left hand side. Sometimes the energy is circulating at the heart chakra (which encompassed the lung and the heart). There is a need to reduce the energy here. For those with sinus the heart chakra is one of the areas we need to heal. Similarly those with asthma will also need to concentrate on the heart chakra and learn chi kung breathings to heal themselves. Of course a person with lots of chi will be able help accelerate the process.

m) General well being
The general well being of a person is at optimum when the chi is balanced at the equilibrium. Most people are either having too much chi or not enough of the right chi. There is a need to tone down the excessive and replenish the exhausted chi. We all have Yin (negative) Chi and Yang (positive) Chi. These Chi need to be in equilibrium.

n) No strength in limbs or any part of the body
This is due to lack of muscle or chi or both. There are people with muscle dysentery where the will to walk can lead them to walk again despite the actual lacking in muscles. This will to walk has build up the chi to provide the strength to walk. Here we are normally dealing with the weak or elderly helping them to increase their chi level. However there are people with psychological problems who somehow lose the will to move and like to sleep or lie down most of the time. Some stoke victims might also like to lie down due to semi paralysis (where one part of the body either left or right side cannot move properly). Therefore the muscles get weaker and weaker resulting in them unable to lift the hand or/and walk properly. This is due to the weak muscles and not due to blockage of chi and blood. I am confident if the person make use of his/her muscles regularly and systematically, the strength will eventually come back. For stroke victims, a lot of rehabilitation is required. 

o) No appetite
People complain of lost of appetite and feeling unwell all the time. The real problem is actually quite simple, the chi is not in equilibrium. One of my fellow student said that she only took fruits for one whole week as she lost appetite on food after a bout of illness. Within 10 minutes of fine tuning, she started to eat like normal.

p) Others
There are all kind of different illness not identified here which I might be able to heal. Among them are arthritis, rheumatism and etc. These illness need the performance of certain chi kung exercises to strengthen the body and limbs. For instance, before I learn Chi kung, I had cold and sweaty limbs. Every time I washed my face, I would have running nose for at least 15 minutes. After learning Chi Kung, I do not have cold and sweaty limbs anymore. I do not have problem with washing my face anymore. Not everyone learning Chi Kung will be able get cured in months since everyone chi level and abilities are different. Some might never be cured unless someone with a high level of chi were to treat him or her. For illness like high blood pressure, low blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and similar illness, there is a need to look into daily exercises and food intake. If you keep eating unhealthy food and seldom exercise, your chances of an early death is heighten. Therefore we must take care of ourselves.

6) How can you tell when a person is deficient in either yang or yin chi?
Answer:
From the look at a person's face, we can normally tell whether the person is ill or not. We can also tell whether the person have enough rest. If a person have dark rings around his eyes like a panda, the person certainly do not have enough rest for sometime. To some people it can also mean he is involved in strenuous sex (but not necessary for me). If the face is pale and grey, then he is having too much yin chi and probably exhausted. If a person's face is reddish in colour, he is having too much yang chi rising to his head causing headache and fever. The head should not be cold or hot on touch. The skin should not be too red or dark in colour (in comparison with the normal skin colour). Person with too much Chi do not look well and beside I can actually see the chi coming out from any person.

7) What can we do when we have too much Chi or too little Chi?
Answer:
If you have too much Chi, there is a need to release the excess Chi. You can try young coconut water, herbal tea such as wong lo kat (not the can drink), lots of hot water and etc. Of course you can seek treatment from people like myself who can reduce your chi in minutes.
If you do not have enough Chi, you will need to increase your Chi by consuming products like Korean Ginseng, Chinese Ginseng and etc. You can also see a Chi Healer like myself who have the excess Chi to increase the Chi level which is of course the faster cure. You can also enroll in a chi kung, tai chi , yoga and etc course and slowly increase your chi level.

8) Do we need to strip to do treatment at a certain sensitive area ?
Answer:
I will only touch the areas you allow me to. Generally you do not need to even open a single button of your shirt. As I am using chi to treat you, it really does not matter whether you take off your clothes or not. In most case I am the one to insist the patient remain fully clothed. In the East, many people are still shy when taking off their clothes in front of a stranger especially a person from the opposite sex. I know of ladies who rather suffer the pains of block chi and blood circulation than to seek treatment as the area include the chest. I can heal such people if they allow me to. I do not need to touch their chest or even open one single button of their shirt. All I need is my chi directed at the back of the shoulders. Of course it will take more time but I am confident, after several treatment, the woman would be much better than before (depending on the seriousness of each case). You do not need to show me your chest or any sensitive area as I can heal you with my chi and the areas directly opposite.
Chi is an energy that is like electricity which most normal people cannot see. Chi can be directed via the hands and mind (through the eyes). Theoretically a person can be healed from a distance provided the healer's chi is strong enough. It is almost the same as when a witch doctor or bomoh is trying to harm an unsuspecting person from a distance. With my mind and eyes focus on a lizard about 7 meters away, I can chase the lizard away from my office, my sister's and parent's house without making any movement. Many people have witnessed how the lizard move in tandem with my chi and disappeared. The strange thing is that the lizards never show up again when I am around. My chi can also make a car mechanic sweat profusely without the need to touch him. Whether it is male or female, as long as you do not wish to be touched at certain sensitive areas, I will give you my assurance that I can heal you without the need to touch any areas sensitive to you. It might however take a little bit longer to heal.

9) What medicine or solutions do you use in your massage?
Answer:
Nothing but pure Chi only. I do not use any massage oil, medicated oil and etc. because I feel my chi alone is enough. Previously I used to apply medicated oil on my patients because my chi was not strong enough. Now I do not need to use anything other than a glass of warm water and my Chi.

10) How long does a normal treatment takes?
Answer:
A normal treatment will take two hour to complete. This include massage from head to limbs. This is for the general well being. Specific healing depend on the nature of the problem. If your problem is only your back, a 15 minutes back massage will do the trick. If you have a serious back problem and is bed ridden it might take more time probably one or two hours. Everything depends on the nature and seriousness of the problem. In most cases only one treatment is required to solve the problem. However in really serious cases, more treatments might be required.

11) What is the difference between an acupuncture, massage, Reiki and your Chi treatment?
Answer:
An acupuncture treatment put needles on the meridian points to stimulate the affected areas. In a way we are doing the same things. Instead of needles, I use my fingers and hands to stimulate the meridian points. The plus side of my treatment is that I uses my chi and massage on the patient.
An ordinary massage stimulate the blood circulation. I uses almost the same method as them but in addition I uses chi and acupressure to help my patient.
A Reiki treatment is similar to my treatment in that the Reiki expert will use his chi to hopefully help the patient. In most Reiki books there is no mention of cure but most will say they hope the chi will help in healing the patient. The problem with many similar healings methods are that the healers does not know how to fine tune the patient's chi and in many cases the healer even get sick as a result of absorbing the patient's chi. 
On the whole, my healing is actually incorporating Chi Kung, massage, acupressure, reflexology, Traditional Chinese Medicine and etc. There are people who pay several thousands of ringgits to learn Reiki and similar healing methods but still does not know how to fine tune the patient's chi. I remember the first time I saw someone do healing in front of me during a mind control course. The healer keep on giving chi to the patient. If the patient's head is already flooded with chi, he would need a toning down. Imagine someone taking Ginseng everyday. Surely that person would be filled with chi to the point of fever, nose bleeding and headache. Is it not ridiculous to pay so much money to get yourself sick without knowing why? Again it is the equilibrium of chi that is most important not the amount of chi!!!! Why must people be so worried about losing chi when chi is everywhere. The problem is not many people know how to make use of it. It is funny how there are even Chi Kung instructors telling students not to give chi to others. 


Chi Kung if practiced on a regular basis under the guidance of a qualified master/instructor can bring you many benefits such as lowering your heart beat, promotes better chi and blood circulations. This should take care of most minor ailments. If you are tired you will naturally sleep better. You will also be able to become stronger when you are able to control and manipulate the chi. At this point you can even become a healer. I am not sure it will reduce your weight. You need to control your consumption of food. When you have reached a certain level perhaps you might not be that interested in food. I do not take much food but never hungry. There are many masters who are not disciplined with their consumption of food and doing daily exercises. Even they might get heart problems. You have to set your priority right.


You do not have to agree with me. If you have a different view do post your opinion and I will try my best to have a constructive discussion with you on the above subject.
