Lau Fung Ngor (From Hong Kong) Occupation: Clerk
When the doctor confirmed that I had nasal-pharyngeal cancer in November 2002, I said to myself, “It has finally picked me”, because my family members had passed away one after another due to lung caner, liver cancer, nasal-pharyngeal cancer and colon cancer. I had to undergo close to 60 rounds of radiotherapy. After the whole course of radiotherapy which lasted more than two months, the post-radiotherapy effects started to emerge: I had lost 20 pounds from the time I was diagnosed to have nasal-pharyngeal cancer to the end of radiotherapy; I had hormonal disorder, and very weak physique; besides having dark burnt patches on my face, I had lost my hair; my esophagus was so seriously scorched that I could hardly swallow; my voice became hoarse; I had breathing difficulties while talking; I had sinus allergy, ear infection with pus and tinnitus (ringing in my ears) resulting in partial hearing. There was persistently a dull pain in my jaw and oral bone which kept me so much awake that I could only sleep for two to three hours every night while sitting up in bed. What made me feel even more helpless was the breakout of SARS around that time. None of the Chinese as well as western doctors whom I consulted were able to reduce the pain that I was suffering from.
In July 2003 through the recommendations of a friend I then got to know about Taiji Five Elements Self Recovery Program (TFESRP). When I first met with World Institute for Self-Healing (WISH) President Ms Christina Chiu, I had difficulties talking. After learning about my condition, her first comment was “You must start practising qi-gong immediately. This is the best therapy to your illness.” Towards the end of July I needed to take part in my first qi-gong fasting and air-ingesting therapy class because Master He arrived in Hong Kong to teach the course. In the period of learning TFESRP, I needed to have intensive practice everyday. At that time, I really felt a bit pressurized, and I did not know how to manage my time. Among the learners on the same course, I was the laziest. As I needed to go to work, I had very little time for the practice and I was constantly chided by President Ms Chiu for being the laziest learner.
After pracitsing, the qi-gong fasting and air-ingesting therapy, my body had ‘unusual’ response as follows:
My breathing was smoother than before, every night I could sleep soundly lying down in bed, the dull pain of my oral bone was not hurting so often as before, and the post-radiotherapy effects gradually subsided. At the same time, I had the experience of my qi rushing through my problem areas. The blood-covered mucous that was clogged up in my throat during the radiotherapy flowed out from my mouth, my whole body became swollen, and I had a high temperature of 102 degrees for two days. When I first came up with this situation, I was very scared. I immediately called up WISH President Ms Chiu to ask her what to do. She only responded with a four-word maxim: “continue to practise qi-gong”. At that time, I had no other choice but to continue.
In the last one and half years, I had taken qi-gong fasting therapy four times. Every time after fasting, the qi rushed through my different health problem areas. As a result, there was improvement in the post-radiotherapy effects I had been suffering from, my stamina became better than before because my self-healing power has been enhanced after the daily practice and the fasting therapy, which in turn has enabled my body to clear out the mutated cells, to generate normal cells again and to enhance my immunity. Before I practised TFESRP, I used to take Chinese herbal medicine to regulate my physique, but after practising TFESRP, I have already stopped taking any medicine, be it western or Chinese, and I no longer have to rely on any medication.
In late October 2004 I went to the hospital to have a CT-Scan of my whole body, and the report indicated that no mutated cancer cell was shown in any part of my body. Even the scar where I had radiotherapy had disappeared. The report of the blood test that I took in May 2005 indicated that the cancer cells in my blood was further reduced from VCN 1/20 POSITIVE to VCN 1/5 EQUIVOCAL. Such encouraging medical examination reports have resulted from the good effects of my two years of practice in TFESRP.
About my present state of mind:
I often talk with friends about my luck and karma in getting to learn about TFESRP. If ability to practise TFESRP is a blessing, then I am able to have both luck and blessing. It is not something that can be expressed in words, but some feelings swelling from my own experience and heart. In practising TFESRP, there are three principles: kindness as the basis, acceptance and allowance as the core values, yielding as the best policy. There are also four maxims to achieve the spiritual state in practising qi-gong: forget one’s illnesses, forget one’s problems and troubles, forget one’s surroundings, forget one’s self. These simple truisms are not easy to put to practice, but from my own experience, all we need to do is to apply sincerity, kindness, courage, optimistic attitude, confidence and efforts in practising TFESRP, then not only can we cure our illnesses, we can also correct our mind set and enhance our individual spiritual and thinking level, the benefits of which will last for the rest of our lives.
July 2005 is the fifth time I have taken the qi-gong fasting and air-ingesting therapy. I hope I will be able to further enhance my self-healing power and immunity so that I will be able to eradicate the post-radiotherapy effects of tinnitus.
