A lot of people have contacted us and asked us, “How did we discover how the color of our clothing affects our health?”

We were treating one of America’s top Olympic hopeful track and field stars for a knee injury and subsequent pain that has been off and on for many years, but with no apparent reason as to the why it is in pain and the how it was injured.

After the third treatment we found that the knee pain was originating from the hip, an old injury, and after treating that area the knee pain immediately went away.

We have found over the years with athletes and anyone in general that has had a physical kind of injury (broken bones, muscle, tendon and ligament tears, joint injuries, etc) that although the injury has physically healed the injury has not healed from a Qi perspective. Hence why athletes and individuals, especially with weak Qi, are constantly re-injuring the same thing or have similar re-occurring injuries and health issues.

As with any athlete who gets better, they will push themselves hard and several days later the ache started to come back. We were thinking that perhaps he got back into heavy workouts too fast.

When he came over for more Qi treatments, after about an hour the pain was dissolved, then it began to move all over his leg, to his ankle, up to the hip, back to knee, very peculiar indeed. It’s as if the pain was trying to escape or run away from what we were doing.

Silvia then did that thing she does, reading the injury and trying to figure out why the pain was moving. After a view minutes she began to grin in partial disbelief and iterated that she felt the pain was originating from the socks the athlete was wearing.

Now fortunately, one of America’s top hammer throwers was also in the room to witness this, because even for us back then, we found it hard to accept.

Anyway, we all had a wee giggle as I quipped, “Humor us, and take off your socks man.”

Now if any of you have ever had a bum knee and you sit down for a couple of hours and don’t move, then you have to get up, you know that stiff knee pain that comes from getting up.

The athlete wound up his body (getting that momentum up to get out of the soft sofa thing) then when he stood up…no pain or ache or stiffness. To his and our utter dismay, he walked around the room without a hint of pain or creakiness.

I next told him to put his socks back on….the pain returned.  He took the socks off again…no pain.

The next day he came back with all of his socks and we found that when he wore six pairs of specific socks that his knees hurt.  Wow and yikes people. Freaky.

We have since burned those socks and the knee pain has never came back.  Coincidence?  No.

It would also explain why the knee pain has been coming and going away for all these years…when he wore the wrong socks, it hurt, the right socks, no pain.

Thus the beginning of color therapy that has since grown into a local phenomenon with those who have undergone color testing.

We have now been using just the simple notion of wearing the right colored clothing to not only overcome one's physical health and increase healing speed from surgery, but to also affect one's mental health in helping to overcome stress, anxiety, panic attacks and depression. Then as their bodies and minds change, we introduce Qigong as part of their continuing therapy. 

Another day, another dollar. Another week, another collection of interesting healing anecdotes to share.

As we were treating a new Alzheimer’s resident this week, after most things we said to her, she would ask us to speak up. It turns out she also has hearing problems. She then asked us how would she know if what we were doing was going to help? It is a tough question to answer someone with Alzheimer’s since most residents do not realize that they have a health issue and to explain that they do creates unnecessary angst. We have found that even though the individual will forget they have a health issue, the internal emotional distress remains within and affects their Qi flow, which can lead to stronger blockages that can create more health issues since they have no way to vent the negative emotion.

Anyway, about 20 minutes into the treatment, several people walked by having a conversation and the resident began to get upset. Why? She said, “Why are they speaking so loudly can you tell them to be quiet.” She is the second person we have treated with nerve damage/age related hearing loss, both of which only after one treatment had improved hearing.

Two other new challenges include a little girl with Down’s Syndrome and a middle-aged lady recently diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).

We actually began treatments a man with ALS some six years ago he travelled half way across the country to see us. At the time he arrived, his speech was slurring, he had back, neck and shoulder pains, minor muscle deterioration and was having difficulty with some motor functions involved in walking. After three treatments over a period of four days, his speech was normal, the pains were gone, and walking was not an issue. Since he lived 1500 miles away from us and thus was unable to continue to treatments, we gave him a list of points on his body that he needed to treat everyday (either himself or his wife for the points that were difficult for him to access). Apparently everything was going along fine for quite a while until for reasons unknown, the wife stopped doing the points.

It is important that when dealing with a life threatening disease that one must remain vigilante with their treatments. The problem we as alternative healers face is that people are of the mindset that regardless of how serious their health issues are or how long they have had them, they should be cured almost immediately and if not, then the method is useless. And then when someone does get better, they assume they are cured and do not need to continue helping themselves. We will never know that if the man was to continue doing his point therapies he would still be healthy today. He is still alive (3-5 years being the life expectancy after diagnosis) but the quality of life is impaired. It is so important that the family remains involved with treatments. Also, when a family member can help, they lose that sense of helplessness because they are now taking an active roll in helping the health of their loved ones.

Since six years ago, we have developed new Qi-related therapies that we are excited to be able to apply to this latest ALS case. Time will tell, and we’ll keep the world posted.

It has been half a year since we have had time to write these blogs. But now that my 500,000 word book The Complete Guide to the Martial Arts Movies of the 1970s is done, Silvia and I have been doing qi healing related modalities on over 300 clients, initiating a qigong program with Kaiser Permanente in Escondido and making positive strides forward with our Vivalachi Health and Wellness Services, it is time to share with the world just how effective qi healing and qigong can be.

This is the first blog I have written for our site and I am really excited to be able to over the next few decades or so, share with you the work we have done, the work we are doing and the work that we will be doing.

Although our website (www.vivalachi.com) shares about my background in using qigong breathing to overcome the deadly affects of cystic fibrosis and subsequently walking 3000 miles across America to show that my health improvement was not a fluke, part of that story is missing. By using qigong and overcoming having to take 30 pills a day, we are saving a lot of money. My father once told me that my medication habit eventually began to cost up to $10,000.00/year. Consider that I was born and raised in England, a country where all my medical costs were covered, this means that after coming to America in 1967, the $10,000 price tag for my medications existed sometime between 1968 and 1979. It is hard to imagine what these costs would have been today.

Anyway, enough of that, now lets get down to the important things in life…helping others.

The first of many breakthroughs I would ike to share started last year when we began to do volunteer work with Alzheimer's disease residents with varying stages of Alzheimer’s (mild, severe, catatonic; plus an individual who also has Parkinson's) at a hospice in the Southern California. Several things have come to light: We are able to determine if a patient has Alzheimer's compared to dementia. Of course a true diagnosis of Alzheimer’s can only be confirmed after a patient passes away and a brain autopsy can be performed. However, based on our findings and the current proposed diagnoses of the patients we are helping, our results are spot on.

The lonely heart- Part 2! 

One can see Qi healing as acupuncture without needles. Qi healing is a non-invasive, all natural, gentle way of getting healthy. Qi treatments balance the Qi strength and flow. Once the Qi is in harmony, the body is awakened to recognize the areas of the body that need attention. Qi then facilitates the body’s innate healing mechanisms to nurture these areas of the body to become healthier.

Qi energy can be emanated from a Qigong practitioner for healing purposes. Emitting Qi energy for healing is the essence of Qi energy healing, which is also known as Qigong treatment, external Qigong, external Qi treatment, and Qi therapy. This healing therapy is very little known in the West, because it has been an extremely tightly guarded secret in China for hundreds of years and requires years of practice. Qi emission from Qigong practitioners has become a topic of scientific study in the 1920’s and 1930’s in China, thanks to some open-minded kung fu practitioners. This interest resurfaced again in China in the 1970’s. The West has only started to pay attention to this healing therapy over the past 10 years.

The difficulty for folks in the West to learn Qi healing is the lack of a well-designed, well-carried out scientific study. There are so many cases where Qi healing has done wonders for people's health. However, when it comes to scientifc studies, it is very difficult to find Qigong practitioners who have the ability to emit Qi at will and are willing to subjet themselves to scrutiny. Because so few people can really perform Qi healing and it has been a tightly guarded secret, scientists really don't know how to design experiments to do the proper testing. Therefore, study results show an inconsistency in their findings.
