The previous reviewers betray their fear and ego in their comments, as well as their insufficient research in Qi, qigong, and Wu Dang monestary where Master Zhou was trained.
I was treated by Master Zhou between January 2001 and May 2003 after receiving 6 weeks of high-dose radiation to the head and spine following brain surgery to remove a deadly Adult Medulloblastoma from the 4th and 5th ventricles of my brain,and continuing for the next two years while receiving weekly chemotherapy.
The doctors told my wife I had less than a 10% chance of survival, so the chemo was as nasty as it gets: Vincristine, Carboplatin, Cisplatin, and CCNU. I would be a MESS two days after chemo, and would go to Master Zhou for a weekly 40 minute medical qigong massage; I would walk out whistling and feeling pretty damn good, all things considered. He even made my hair grow while ACTIVELY RECEIVING chemotherapy!
I studied martial arts in college, and had done research on qigong so I was somewhat familiar with it. After my chemo ended I studied Elementary and Intermediate Qigong with Master Zhou, and I used it to overcome the debilitating side-effects that I got from my chemo. I recommend the other reviewers read Kenneth Cohen's book, "The Way of Qigong: the art and science of chinese energy healing" so they can understand why Master Zhou does not NEED to speak with them about medical history, or their personal fears or worries. He can perceive where the Qi is weak, and through years of diligent training he can project Qi to the necessary points on the energy meridians of the body to boost weak qi, clear stagnant qi, or remove toxic qi. Going one time for a chronic illness is like taking one pill out of a course antibiotics--NOT GOING TO WORK!
As for the heat, there is no chemical reaction "trick", it is Master Zhou projecting the Qi in the form of heat. He was filmed with a thermal camera for Ripley's Believe It or Not and was able to get a paper towel damp with only tap water up to 200 degrees F. My father-in-law is a 40 year, board certified psychiatrist, and teaching fellow at NYU. He watched Master Zhou treat me from two feet away, and saw Master Zhou put a wet paper towel (which he wet with water he drank right in front of us and invited my father in law to drink as well) then put that inside of a piece of Reynold's aluminum foil, and finally inside a piece of cotton fabric. None of this is to fake the heat, it is to keep the patient from getting third degree burns! In acupuncture, oil will be ignited on the ends of the needles to increase the flow of Qi, this is called Moxibustion--Master Zhou's qi is so powerful after 60+ years of practice, he doesn't need the oil or the needles to get even greater efficacy. My father in law has had Master Zhou work on the chronic herniated disks in his back with great effect, as well as the neuropathy he encountered in his fingers and toes from the chemo drug Tarceva. After only two consecutive days of 40 minute treatments my father-in-law saw the pain in his fingers and toes drop from an 8 to a 2. Also, my wife had been told all her adult life that she only had one working ovary, and might never be able to have children. I was told by my oncologists that due to the chemotherapy I received I might never be able to impregnate my wife. Nevertheless, Master Zhou worked on my wife's ovaries one time, and when I was finished with chemo and told that my bodily fluids were no longer toxic to others my wife became pregnant THE FIRST TIME WE TRIED! Our son is now 10 years old, and we have a 5 year old daughter.
The Western world needs to learn about and de-mystify Qi. It is scientifically quantifiable, and could not only reduce illness significantly in America, but also prevent a tremendous amount of illness. It's simple to learn, requires no expensive equipment to practice, and can greatly increase personal health, mental clarity, and overall sense of well-being.
Imagine if your western Dr. graduated top of his class from John Hopkins, then practiced medicine at the highest levels doing the most profound healing for the next 60 years, six days a week--- THAT is basically what Master Zhou is, but in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Basically, everyone who has a serious problem should run, not walk, to be treated by him before he retires. I feel blessed and grateful to be alive thanks to his care. read more
