Hello,
It has been my expierence and working with serious and minor ailments that some Qigong has been exagarated by some teachers. I think alot of "healers" go into Qigong for the wrong reason= big$$$. Qigong balancing is very specific follows similar criteria as in Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine.
Success Rate: Depending on what stage of a disease is a major factor, belief in the system/practitioner is also important. I always tell people that I help with Qigong never, ever, ever forget about the benefits of Western Medicine, I believe personally the both have benefits and shortcomings.
I personally don't like using the terms, heal, Medical, or Treatment it implies you are a highly trained Medical physician & also gives false hope, which in turn gives Qigong a bad reputation.
I have worked with various cancer patients privately (lymphoma, breast, prostate, colon). This covers 13 different subjects over a test period over the last 1 1/2 years, 3 of the 13 have passed on. So there is no Guarentee with results, the practice and balancing techniques work very good for home therapy.
Public Groups (Gildas Club) serious Cancer recovery and intial stages, out of 20 particpants over a 8 week class. Nine students health rebounded dramatically. MS ALS : Qigong Meditation, 13 movement Tai Chi has reduced 4 students symptoms.
Qigong presented as a "RE-Balancing mode of practice" leaves little to scrutiny in the public format and gives people assurance to try it with an open heart/mind. Eight Brocades, Taiji Qigong (stationary) Qigong meditation are great tools for self help for home.
I recommend all of master Yangs personal products, they are excellent and it shows in the quality of the presentation. Hope this helps, find a public format, it's the best for the practice.
