Richelle's Story: No Diagnosis is the Final Diagnosis

Petra’s Story: Back Into the Light with TCM

Four years ago I was suffering from the dreaded “hot flashes.” I wanted to take a homeopathic approach to this transformation.  Master Lu made it abundantly clear that suffering through menopause wasn’t the natural way to transition. All my life, women around me had accepted their fate of mood swings, depression, sexual dysfunction, and hot flashes. My intuition told me there was another path.  And I was correct! Thanks to TCM, I no longer suffer from those menopausal symptoms.

A year-and-a-half later, I was diagnosed with pre-cancerous cells in my cervix.

Esther's Story: No Side Effects with Complementary Care

I underwent 24 weeks of chemotherapy and 6 weeks of radiation treatments after my surgery for stage II breast cancer. Simultaneously, I also chose TCM with acupuncture and Chinese herbs.  I practiced specific Wu Ming Qigong energy movements and followed a diet prescribed for preventing and healing from breast cancer. I was fortunate to be able to take leave from work to allow my body and spirit time to heal and renew. My western medical doctors, family, and friends were amazed. I did not experience any nausea, vomiting, bone marrow depression, skin burning, or blistering which are the common side effects of western anti-cancer treatments.

Jeanne's Story: My Cancer Journey

They say it is a battle…Cancer.  A death sentence if you don’t choose to fight.  And, if you don’t fight the way you are told, you are doomed.  So, if you want to be a survivor, enter the battle so you can win the war. Join in and win. I couldn’t wear pink.  I couldn’t be in a battle.  It didn’t feel like a war to me.  It felt like a journey.  A healing opportunity.  A wake-up call. I had just recently become involved with Tao of Healing and TCM World Foundation when I got my Triple Negative breast cancer diagnosis October 12, 2012.

Edna’s Story: One Step at a Time

I was desperate for an alternative approach to my health issues.  After a “Stage 4” cancer diagnosis, I was in need of big changes in my life. I started my Qigong practice literally one step at a time. I moved on to practicing for just a few minutes a day, and I started feeling a bit better, so I continued. The more I practiced, the better I felt. I was able to sleep again, and I felt energized. So I wanted more, and more, and more. That’s when I decided to become a Dragon’s Way® instructor. At first, I did it for myself. But after my awesome experience with self-healing, I knew this was a good way to share my journey with others.

Connie’s Story: Clean Report Through Qigong

I was a smoker in the past. After a CT scan showed a nodule on my lung, I began practicing Qigong faithfully. A repeat CT scan showed that the nodule had completely disappeared. My scarring is now very light. Only one tiny dot remains—it is the size of a hair follicle.

My doctor can’t figure it out, but I know that my Qigong practice helped shift my energy.
