The meditations, practices, techniques and prescriptions described herein are currently practiced in the government hospitals, Medical Universities and clinics of The Peoples Republic of China. These tech- niques can be very powerful and may in some cases be too mentally and physically demanding for some individuals. The readers should therefore use their own discretion and consult a doctor of Medical Qigong therapy, an acupuncturist, medical doctor, or mental health professional before engaging in these exercises and meditations. The author, the International 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 a 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 suggest that the doctor prescribe herbs for certain conditions along with Medical Qigong therapy. The Medical Qigong Treatments and Homework Prescription Exer- cises and Meditations assigned to patients sometimes require herbal prescriptions, as well as regula- tion of the patient's diet and living environment. Herbal prescriptions will vary according to the patient's constitution, condition and specific illness, and must be prescribed only by a doctor or herb- alist qualified to prescribe Chinese medical herbs. Each state in the U.S. has its own regulations and restrictions. Therefore, it is advisable for the reader to consult his or her own state medical board regarding the legalities and liabilities of the techniques described in this text. Throughout the text I have used the term doctor when referring to professional practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as to those who use energetic medicine to treat patients. The word" doctor" means "to teach." I believe that the foremost duty of any doctor of medicine (Western or Chinese) should be as educator, to teach his or her patients the knowledge and skills for the preven- tion and treatment of disease and injury. Currently, the official title Doctor of Medical Qigong Therapy is only licensed by The People's Republic of China. II
