Disclaimer:
Qigong medicine is not intended to replace orthodox medicine, but rather to complement it. The
meditations, practices, techniques and prescriptions described herein are powerful and may be too
mentally and physically demanding for some people. The readers should therefore use their own
discretion and consult a doctor of Medical Qigong therapy, an acupuncturist, medical doctor, or men-
tal health professional before engaging in these exercises and meditations. The author, the Interna-
tional Institute of Medical Qigong, and the publishers are neither liable or responsible to any person
or entity with respect to any loss or damage caused, or alleged to be caused, directly or indirectly by
reading or following the instructions for any condition, or interpreting information provided in this
text. The treatments mentioned in this book are not meant to be used as symptomatic prescriptions.
The treatment of specific organs, channels, channel points, and prescriptions must always be selected
based on the thorough understanding of the origin of the patient's disease.
If
an ailment is severe, or
if
symptoms persist, please consult a medical professional immediately.
Throughout the text I will refer the doctor to prescribe herbs for certain conditions along with
Medical Qigong therapy. All Medical Qigong prescriptions, exercises and "homework" assigned to
patients in Section X "Treatment of Internal Diseases with
Qi
Emission Therapy" and Section XI "Spe-
cialized Qi Emission Therapy for Pediatrics, Geriatrics, Gynecology, Neurology, Psychology, Oncol-
ogy, and Surgery" should also be included with herbal prescriptions, as well as the regulation of the
patient's diet and living environment. Herbal prescriptions will vary according to the patient's consti-
tution, condition and specific illness, and must be treated accordingly only by a doctor or herbalists
qualified to prescribe Chinese medical herbs.
Throughout the text I have used the term
doctor
when referring to professional practitioners who
use energetic medicine to treat patients. The word"doctor" means "to teach". I believe that the fore-
most duty of any doctor of medicine (Western or Chinese) should be as educator, to teach his or her
patients knowledge and skills for the prevention and treatment of disease and injury. Currently, the
official title,
Doctor of Medical Qigong Therapy
is only licensed and used in China.
