From chapter five of "Miracle Healing from China... Qigong"
This man had difficulty walking and could not raise his leg. After 2 minutes of Qigong
while on stage in front of 150 people, he was able to raise it and walked better.
Dr. Chow uses a versatile concept called the Chow Integrated Healing
system, a blend of modern Western practices, ancient Eastern healing arts and Chow's own health principles linking the body, mind and spirit.
While Western medicine has made great advances treating critical illnesses and infections, many feel that Eastern medicine is having
more success with chronic, degenerative diseases, addictive behaviors and stress-related conditions. The Chow System helps people achieve
optimal health; Dr. Chow believes that the minds and positive attitudes of her clients are the keys to good health. "Giving individuals the power
to determine and manage their own health and destinies is the secret of true healing," she explains. "Their minds and bodies are the ultimate
powerful instruments for self healing".
The Chow System integrates acupuncture and acupressure, physical
and mental exercises (stretching, deep breathing and meditation, dance and aerobics, Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong), herbal medicine,
massage and body work, visualization, positive thinking, touch therapy, counseling and other techniques. Dr. Chow, a former modeling
instructor, Chinese chef and competitive dancer and recreational athlete, has also blended principles of posture, nutrition and movement into her healing system.
The Chow Integrated Healing System (The Chow System) is a pragmatic
system that combines modern Western health practices, ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Dr. Chow's original concepts of a total integrated
approach to health of the body, mind, and spirit. Qigong is the basic underlying component of The Chow System based on the classic Chinese
theory that a powerful energy system exists in the body, and that energy (qi) flows through known energy pathways. The pathways are referred to as
channels, or meridians. The qi system is as direct as the respiratory and nervous systems. If qi patterns are disrupted by emotional distress,
environmental exposures, or any number of factors, a person becomes susceptible to disease. When this disruption of energy is rebalanced, health is restored.
