Breakthroughs in Alzheimer's Disease

 

It has been half a year since we have had time to write these blogs. But now that my 500,000 word book The Complete Guide to the Martial Arts Movies of the 1970s is done, Silvia and I have been doing qi healing related modalities on over 300 clients, initiating a qigong program with Kaiser Permanente in Escondido and making positive strides forward with our Vivalachi Health and Wellness Services, it is time to share with the world just how effective qi healing and qigong can be.

 
This is the first blog I have written for our site and I am really excited to be able to over the next few decades or so, share with you the work we have done, the work we are doing and the work that we will be doing.
 
Although our website (http://www.vivalachi.com/) shares about my background in using qigong breathing to overcome the deadly affects of cystic fibrosis and subsequently walking 3000 miles across America to show that my health improvement was not a fluke, part of that story is missing. By using qigong and overcoming having to take 30 pills a day, we are saving a lot of money. My father once told me that my medication habit eventually began to cost up to $10,000.00/year. Consider that I was born and raised in England, a country where all my medical costs were covered, this means that after coming to America in 1967, the $10,000 price tag for my medications existed sometime between 1968 and 1979. It is hard to imagine what these costs would have been today.
 
Anyway, enough of that, now lets get down to the important things in life…helping others.
 
The first of many breakthroughs I would ike to share started last year when we began to do volunteer work with Alzheimer's disease residents with varying stages of Alzheimer’s (mild, severe, catatonic; plus an individual who also has Parkinson's) at a hospice in the Southern California. Several things have come to light: We are able to determine if a patient has Alzheimer's compared to dementia. Of course a true diagnosis of Alzheimer’s can only be confirmed after a patient passes away and a brain autopsy can be performed. However, based on our findings and the current proposed diagnoses of the patients we are helping, our results are spot on.

 

For each of the residents that we do qi healing on, after six, 15-minute treatments, all have demonstrated an increase in cognizance and some with increased memory recall. Another way to tell if a person diagnosed with Alzheimer’s has made any improvement is the ratio between up times (when they are more aware and can participate in events) and down times (just sit and stare with a non-engaging persona). Each resident we work with has been exhibiting longer periods of up time. For the one resident with Parkinson's, we have successfully found a way to stop his hand tremors. Although it is too early to tell if this will work on other Parkinson's patients, it is encouraging news.

It is funny, at the first treatment, WW who mentioned his lonely heart during the consultation, and I both wore almost the same color of clothes, comfortable, loose, relaxing, beige khaki, not stylish at all.

 

His face has a slight-tint of pale yellow, looking drained. Shoulders shrugged and back slightly bent forward.

 

His Qi was not flowing, stuck on the shoulders, abdomen, back, elbows, and one of the ankles.

 

Treatment proceeded...I was able to get his Qi flow back to the body, arms and legs.

 

When the treatment was finished, he was in a deep sleep. After he came around from his deep, meditative sleep, we discussed ways to keep the Qi flow, and a way to help the blockage around his heart.

 

For Self Help:

Wear a Band of Strength on the wrist and 2 premiere necklaces.

 

 

A week later, when he came back for a follow up treatment, I couldn't believe what I saw. He looked a different person; a bright shiny glow was emanating from his face. He looked fashionable, although I don't remember what shirt he wore, somehow pink sticks in my head. He was also light on his feet, carrying a smile on his face.

 

He had Qi flow on the body trunk and arms. But he still needs more flow. The blockage around the abdominal area was strong, so I concentrated the Qi beams on that area.

 

A lot of bad Qi moved out of his body during the treatment. So much so that it made his feet numb during Qi treatment, yet finally a few minutes after the treatment, the numbness went away. Something he ate caused this build up of bad Qi.

 

More self-help:

Wear a custom made anklet/bracelet, plus a Band of Strength Wristband and 2 premiere necklaces.

Drink chicken soup three times a week, one cup each time.

Do muscle tests on each food to find out what his body does not like.

 

I feel his heart will not be lonely for long.

One can see Qi healing as acupuncture without needles. Qi healing is a non-invasive, all natural, gentle way of getting healthy. Qi treatments balance the Qi strength and flow. Once the Qi is in harmony, the body is awakened to recognize the areas of the body that need attention. Qi then facilitates the body’s innate healing mechanisms to nurture these areas of the body to become healthier.

 

Qi energy can be emanated from a Qigong practitioner for healing purposes. Emitting Qi energy for healing is the essence of Qi energy healing, which is also known as Qigong treatment, external Qigong, external Qi treatment, and Qi therapy. This healing therapy is very little known in the West, because it has been an extremely tightly guarded secret in China for hundreds of years and requires years of practice. Qi emission from Qigong practitioners has become a topic of scientific study in the 1920’s and 1930’s in China, thanks to some open-minded kung fu practitioners. This interest resurfaced again in China in the 1970’s. The West has only started to pay attention to this healing therapy over the past 10 years.

The difficulty for folks in the West to learn Qi healing is the lack of a well-designed, well-carried out scientific study. There are so many cases where Qi healing has done wonders for people's health. However, when it comes to scientifc studies, it is very difficult to find Qigong practitioners who have the ability to emit Qi at will and are willing to subjet themselves to scrutiny. Because so few people can really perform Qi healing and it has been a tightly guarded secret, scientists really don't know how to design experiments to do the proper testing. Therefore, study results show an inconsistency in their findings.

As unemployment rises in the US, the days of taking two or more weeks off from work in order to have a cosmetic procedure has become the privilege of few.

 

Minimizing downtime is therefore critical for most people who are contemplating the idea of having cosmetic surgery. The faster the post-surgery healing is completed the faster one can get back to work or get back into the job market.

We have worked with Olympic athletes since 1987 to speed up their healing from new and often times old injuries.

The most common conditions during post-cosmetic surgery recovery that delay one's normal activities include: swelling, bruising, pain, soreness and numbness. Pain can be managed with pain medication, but who likes to go out with a swollen and bruised face, and move about in soreness and numbness? Ice cannot do it all.

Qi healing is very effective in soft tissue healing to take away swelling, bruises, soreness and numbness. Another benefit of Qi healing is that it reduces scar formation.

So let's be more beautiful!

The lonely heart!

On Monday, I started Chi healing work on a man, who injured his neck 33 years ago. He has experienced pain on his neck, shoulders and back since then, and is no longer able to participate in sports. He can't be near a microwave oven, carry a cell phone or work on computer for long. Such an isolated living!!

When I checked his Chi, he has very limited chi flow, and chi flow is blocked at both of wrists and ankles. I also detected a build up blockage at his chest (heart)!! When I asked him if he has any heart issues. He replied, "My heart is blocked with loneliness."

There is no magic pill or spell for lonely hearts but maybe after restoring his chi flow, his good nature will shine through and bring people into his life.

Silvia's pick of Chi jewelry for him: Brand of Strength (http://www.vivalachi.com/A_Chi_wristband_for_health_and_strength_p/bprd3el-001.htm).
2 Premieres (http://www.vivalachi.com/A_multi_function_Chi_jewelry_for_health_p/nprdch1-001.htm).

I will keep you all posted on his healing progress, because as he grows we all grow. Please send positive thoughts to him. Thank you all and may the chi be with you.

Qi (Chi) – Prana; Qigong – Pranayama; Acupoints - Chakra; Qi (Chi) jewelry – Chakra jewelry


The concept of life energy of air or breath (Qi or Chi) is not unique to the Chinese culture. Prana is the yogic concept of a cosmic energy or life force, similar to the Chinese idea of Qi (Chi), which enters the body with the breath. According to Ayurveda and yoga, Prana flows through the body to keep the body alive and maintains a state of good health. It is considered the vital link between the spiritual self and the material self.

In different cultures, this energy is named:

Chinese - Qi, Chi

Greek - Pneuma

Hebrew - The Old Testament - Ruah

Indian – Prana

Japanese - Ki

Polynesian - Mana

Prana flows through the body and is focused at specific points called Chakras (a similar concept as Qi meridians and acupuncture points). These energy centers are an important part of health and wellbeing as in the Chinese medicine. The literal meaning of Chakra in Sanskrit is “wheel” or “disk”. There are seven principal Chakras situated along the spinal column from the base to the top of the head. Prana forms vortex at these Chakras, and when the Chakras are awakened, the energy turns in a clockwise direction. When a Chakra is blocked, the body weakens.

Prana enters into the body as we breathe, courses through the channels, and enlivens the body. By working with prana through breathing, one can attain good health. Pranayama is an aspect of Yoga that exercises the control of Prana through the regulation of breathing and shares a very similar concept as Chinese Qigong.

Prana can also be projected to another person for healing. Since the ancient times, the Indian Rishis practiced Pranic healing. In Pranic healing, a cure is achieved simply by removing ill energies from the patient, then transferring fresh Prana to the affected areas with the use of the hands. This is comparable to Qi healing (external Qi, medical Qigong). These systems were taught and practised secretly and selectively for fear of misuse.

Pranic Healing uses three basic techniques:

- scanning for energy abnormalities, such as blockages, congestion and depletion


- removing negative energy and


- replenishing with vital energy.

The Chakra energy can be used to vitalize the body when properly used. People who practice yoga and other related eastern cultural traditions are fully aware of the importance of Chakras and their energy in health. In Hinduism, meditations on a particular Chakra would be done to tap into its spiritual energy systems. The Chakras and their energy are channeled by "New Age" healers, holistic medical practitioners, and alternative healers of yoga, reiki, reflexology for healing purpose.

In modern Western practices, each of the seven Chakras is assigned with a color. This association of the Chakras with the color of light spectrum can be dated back to the 1940s, advocated by Patricia Mercier (The Chakra Bible, Patricia Mercier, Octopus Publishing Group Ltd., 2007).

Most Naturopaths, who practice natural medicine, feel that Natural Gemstone Jewelry is a very powerful tool in treating Chakra imbalances. Gemstones have been used for thousands of years in moving and manipulating Chakra Energy. It is believed by many Naturopaths that a Chakra responds to the energy produced by particular gemstones (often a gemstone with a color that matches the assigned color of the Chakra) and are therefore thought to align these energy points in the body. For example, the Chakra in the forehead is associated with the color blue, so to cure a headache you would apply a blue stone to the forehead. This idea has proven highly popular.

A NEW DETOX REGIMEN


Balacing your Qi (Chi)

Our bodies normally do a wonderful job of getting rid of harmful materials that are either generated by our metabolism or enter into our bodies by ingestion, inhalation or absorption. Unfortunately, our bodies do not always work perfectly, especially as one ages. During our daily lives, we depend more and more on man made materials, many of which contain toxic chemicals. With this increase and the continuous exposure to toxic materials, over time these toxic materials can throw our bodies off their normal functions.

Detox (short for detoxification) programs have become a popular practice by people in an attempt to get rid of toxic materials built up in the body. There are so many detoxification products and programs on the market that encompass vegetarian diets, herbal cleanses, detox baths, fasting, probiotic supplements, antioxidants, bowel cleanings, etc. Although detox programs have gained tremendous popularity, they have also been heavily criticized. Many critics believe that detox programs are not needed because the body can naturally detoxify itself and they contend that there is no scientific evidence to support the notion that detox programs actually work. Herbal detox products are not only unproven, but are also expensive and in some cases have been shown to be more harmful than helpful.


This sort of information ultimately can cause a dilemma because on one hand, many believe or want to believe that we can benefit from detox regimens but on the other hand is it worth starving yourself or totally changing your diet and introducing something into your body that may not help you? Also, is it worth the financial cost especially if you are investing in something that may harm you. Given these possibilities, it can leave one thinking that if these detox products do not work and/or might hurt me, what alternatives are there.

 

Is there some other way to naturally detoxify my body and create a balance that does not need fasting, dieting, herbs and enemas?

Of course there is. 


 


One natural detoxification method that has been used for thousands of years focuses on balancing the body by promoting proper Qi flow (Chi flow). 


 


Chi (aka Qi or Ki) means the "life force". This "energy" is not fully understood by the West and is therefore not always accepted as existing. Yet, Chi (Qi) is the foundation of Traditional Oriental Medicine, which has been used as a major healing practice in China for more than 2000 years. Acupuncture, acupressure and qigong are all proven techniques that have been used to balance Chi (Qi).


Now VivaLaChi introduces a new way to balance one's Qi without having to spend a lot of money, or for those unable to find a reputable qigong teacher that also may charge an arm and a leg to learn Qi.  It is simply the novel use of Chi-Jewelry, a sort of feng shui for the body, which is a safe and inexpensive alternative way to balance your Qi (Chi), which in turn can help your body's normal functions and therefore, its natural detoxification processes.



Why Try VivaLaChi Chi Jewelry?

If you have any doubt about trying VivaLaChi jewelry as part of your path to well being, here are four things that you might wish to ask yourself:

Is trying something better than trying nothing?

Is trying a method that is natural, noninvasive, simple and a one time purchase preferable?

Is it worth trying something inexpensive?

Is trying something and finding that it works for you valuable?

Qi (Chi), Qi Flow and Health

 
Qi or Chi is one of the most difficult of all Chinese concepts to comprehend. The literal meaning of Qi is “breath” or “air”, and by extension, “breath of life “, “life force” or “energy that sustains living beings”. The Chinese believe that the flow of Qi governs nature and life.

 

Qi is believed to flow through the human body in channels called meridians. The Chinese consider all illnesses, both physical and mental, as a result from irregularity in the flow of Qi. In a healthy person, Qi flows along the meridians freely and smoothly. When Qi becomes imbalanced, disease and illness begin to take forms. Qi imbalances can occur as a result of poor diet, overexertion, inactivity, injury, toxins, the environment or emotions (anger, worry, sadness, grief, fear, fright). Traditional Chinese medicine, one of the oldest medical disciplines in the world, strives to keep the flow of Qi balanced, increase the levels of Qi and make sure the Qi remains strong.  Treatments are, therefore, aimed to find and correct the source of the imbalance.

A variety of techniques were developed in traditional Chinese medicine to treat illness by adjusting the Qi flow in the body. Herbs and food influence Qi from inside the body. Acupuncture, Tui na, Cupping and Moxibustion use external stimuli to access acupuncture points (also called acupoints) along the meridians in an effort to clear blockages. Qigong practices are used to strengthen the Qi flow, which in turn also increases one’s health.  Many famous Chinese physicians throughout history, for example Hua Tuo (141-208 AD), Li Shizhen (1518-1593 AD), were also Qigong practitioners.
 
In respect to the onset of body aches and pains associated with the aging process, Chinese doctors may attribute that to Qi blockages caused by old injuries. For example, a senior citizen’s constant ache and stiffness in his knee would be explained in the West as possibly caused by the “bum knee tore in high school during the football game." A Western doctor would usually tell this old man to take Ibuprofen or Aspirin to ease the pain. A Chinese doctor would say that the knee was mostly healed and that it worked fine while the man was young when his Qi flowed was still strong.  However, now that he is old, his Qi flow is slower and that it gets stuck at the site of his old injury. Treatments would be prescribed to improve the Qi flow.
