Of course, like many other victims of this insidious disease, I knew that there was something very wrong with me. I knew of no health caring practices or practitioners to address this. I followed this up by taking a Chinese herbal food supplement. This helped stabilize me, giving my burned out adrenals some support. It doesn't matter whether, as in Western medicine, it is an auto immune disease or some kind of strange virus.
Chinese medicine treats it as a complete syndrome.
In the end, it's my experience of healing that counts. There are many hundreds of different styles of qigong today, some of them dating back hundreds, if not thousands of years. Millions of people all over China practice some form of qigong every day-in parks, in the mountains, in hospital wards. As it is classically understood, qigong is a practice whereby we are able to access, circulate and store qi, or vital energy, in our bodies. It is a combination of deep breathing, slow movement, and visualization.
